Ranked Among the Immortal Court! A Five-Thousand-Character Chapter!

The Five Directions Realm have suffered a calamity for 107,000 years.

Lu Qingfeng returned to the Five Directions Realm in the 27,300th year.

The filthy, blood-red light that had permeated the Five Directions Realm and beyond finally dissipated.

This day.

Above the heavens, countless immortal residences stand, radiating bursts of celestial light and precious aura.

Above one of the Immortal Mansion, a crystal dome shaped like a giant bubble suddenly transformed into flowing clouds and slowly rose, revealing the entire Immortal Mansion. Following this, two more crystal domes on either side also rose from behind the cloud-capped peaks and cliffs, each transforming into five-colored clouds.

Upon reaching the center, it gradually shrinks, eventually coalescing into a Rainbow Cloud about ten feet in size, which then rests in the middle.

Above the Rainbow Cloud, Immortal Mansion appears.

This Immortal Mansion is about thirty-six zhang high and over a hundred mu wide, with platforms and corridors on all four sides, about thirty-six zhang above the ground. The front platform is particularly wide, with a large stone cauldron at each of the four corners, surrounded by carved railings on all four sides, and thirty-six steps on both sides of the front.

A grand hall stands there, with the four ancient seal script characters "Five Directions Immortal Abode" engraved on it in gold, covering an area of about ten acres.

In the center stands a throne, flanked by nine seats on either side, with many more seats below. The entire hall is a single, seamless structure, without beams or pillars, resembling a single piece of beautiful jade, carved and built with the skill of a master craftsman, exuding a majestic and solemn aura.

The clouds trembled, and celestial music began to play.

The Immortal Mansion was originally empty.

But as clouds rise and gather.

On the throne, a handsome young man of about fourteen or fifteen years old appeared. This young man was dressed as a Daoist priest, with his hair styled in a Daoist bun and a Green Bamboo hairpin inserted horizontally.

His handsome appearance became even more striking.

It makes him appear even more dignified.

On his left and right sides, seven people were seated in nine seats, four men and three women, each displaying their own unique charm.

Go down.

Then, eighteen more cultivators with eyes radiating divine light and majestic appearances took their seats in turn.

Behind them, cultivators stood respectfully, holding swords and jade. Judging from their appearance and aura, they were all top-tier figures who had cultivated their Primordial Spirit.

It is neither the Integration Realm nor the Soul Projection Realm.

Such a person, if placed in the human world, would be worthy of being called a patriarch or a "strange old man," but standing in this hall, he is just like a servant boy or maid, with a solemn expression and not daring to relax in the slightest.

The hall was silent.

When the handsome young man appeared, the seven people at the head of the table bowed to the person on the throne and said in unison, "Teacher."

The eighteen people at the head of the table stood up at the same time and said respectfully, "Greetings, Grandmaster."

All around.

The hundreds of standing cultivators were startled and hurriedly bowed to the throne at the head of the table, shouting, "May our ancestral master enjoy eternal bliss and live as long as the heavens!"

Lu Qingfeng, dressed in Green Bamboo Staff and holding a green bamboo staff, glanced at his seven disciples on the left and right, then at the eighteen newly promoted True Immortal below him.

With a wave of his sleeve, he gestured for everyone to stand up and sit down.

Then he raised his eyes and looked out into the void.

He did not utter a word.

Beside Lu Qingfeng, Qin Wei, Jiang Yunxi, and other disciples kept their eyes down, clearly knowing why their teacher had summoned them today.

The eighteen newly promoted True Immortal at the head of the table exchanged glances, wondering why their ancestor, who rarely showed his face, had summoned all of them, the top figures of the Immortal Alliance.

Such a spectacle.

This is a rare occurrence in the more than 20,000 years since the establishment of the Immortal Alliance.

The remaining Nascent Primordial Spirit cultivators were filled with doubt. Seeing such a grand scene, they couldn't help but be somewhat moved.

Silence.

After a while.

Lu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up. Everyone was startled and looked towards the sky.

Suddenly, Golden Light shone from the sky, and Rainbow Cloud appeared.

Faintly, one could hear the sounds of gongs and drums, and the melodious strains of celestial music.

Before they could get a good look, they heard the chief patriarch laugh loudly, "Follow me to welcome the Celestial Immortal."

A single word was uttered.

Holding Green Bamboo Staff, Lu Qingfeng strode out of the palace. Qin Wei, Jiang Yunxi, Zhang Jingshan, and others followed closely behind.

"The Celestial Immortal?"

The eighteen True Immortal' expressions shifted, and they followed suit.

Hundreds of Primordial Spirit cultivators, all handsome men and beautiful women, each carrying celestial music and ceremonial regalia, holding incense burners and flowers, walked out of the hall in two solemn and graceful steps, lining up on both sides of the hall.

Lu Qingfeng stopped, looked up, and saw the Rainbow Cloud drifting in from the west. He immediately cupped his hands and Golden Light above the Rainbow Cloud, saying, "This humble Daoist, the leader of the Five Directions Immortal Alliance, Pure Daoist, along with all the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, respectfully welcomes the Immortal Envoy of the Immortal Court."

"Welcome, Celestial Envoy!"

The disciples and cultivators behind them also shouted in unison.

The sound was powerful and resounding.

For a time, the fairyland was breathtakingly beautiful, and the music was melodious, as if one had entered the Tusita Immortal Palace, the Illuminating Treasure Hall. All the immortals paid homage and sang in unison, creating a truly magnificent spectacle.

On those auspicious clouds.

A celestial official, clad in feathered robes and a star-studded crown, stood at the forefront, holding a decree. Behind him stood two attendants, one holding a sword and the other a seal.

Seeing the spectacle below, the celestial official, who already had a smile on his face, smiled even more broadly. He descended slowly from the auspicious cloud, reached out to help Lu Qingfeng up, and said with a hearty laugh, "I dare not accept such a grand gesture from the Alliance Leader of the Pure Alliance."

This person came from the heavens, yet his attitude was not arrogant; on the contrary, he treated Lu Qingfeng with great respect.

The people behind them watched in astonishment.

But apart from Qin Wei and the other seven disciples, no one else knew how their alliance leader had gotten involved with the celestial beings.

The immortal made a sound.

Lu Qingfeng stood up and looked at the celestial official. He saw that the official's demeanor was restrained, and a wisp of immortal light was condensed and did not dissipate, exuding infinite mystery. He was obviously a celestial being who had long since attained the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit.

Changsheng and long life are not for ordinary people.

"Earth Immortal".

Lu Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat.

As Lu Qingfeng observed him, the celestial official remained impassive, also paying close attention. His gaze lingered on Lu Qingfeng made no attempt to conceal his true cultivation level. "True Immortal? Just a True Immortal?"

A surge of emotion welled up within me.

Sensing a different aura, he turned his gaze and landed on a young Daoist priest behind the boy, dressed in a moon-white robe. This young Daoist priest had an ordinary appearance, but his aura was as restrained as his, with a celestial light within him like the Blazing Sun Realm Bright Moon, the blazing sun, or Star Dipper.

If an ordinary person were to see this, even a cultivator at the Primordial Spirit would experience a stinging pain in their eyes.

The celestial official was unharmed, but he raised an eyebrow, cupped his hands to the young Daoist, and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoist."

The young Daoist priest was none other than Qin Wei.

He could also discern the celestial official's cultivation level and dared not be negligent, so he quickly returned the greeting, "Qin Wei of the Five Directions Immortal Alliance greets the Celestial Envoy."

"So it's Fellow Qin Wei."

The celestial official was surprised to see Qin Wei claiming to be a member of the Immortal Alliance and behaving so humbly before Lu Qingfeng. He couldn't help but look at Lu Qingfeng and asked, "I wonder what kind of relationship the Alliance Leader has with Fellow Qin Wei— "

Lu Qingfeng has not yet spoken.

Qin Wei quickly took over the conversation, bowed to Lu Qingfeng, and said from the Immortal Official's perspective, "The Alliance Leader is my mentor."

Respectful attitude.

"Teacher, the True Immortal."

"Disciple of Earth Immortal".

The celestial official was amazed, and his eyes suddenly changed again.

"My disciple is reckless and has made the immortal messenger laugh."

Lu Qingfeng smiled.

Twenty thousand years of cultivation.

Despite having no shortage of resources within the Immortal Alliance, Qin Wei was the first to re-attain the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit, thus enjoying Changsheng and carefree existence.

He was the first Earth Immortal in the Immortal Alliance.

Standing among the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, he naturally stood out like a crane among chickens, attracting attention. It was only natural that the celestial officials took notice.

He looked at the celestial official, then gestured towards the Immortal Mansion, "The celestial envoy has come from afar, so this is only proper. I have already prepared celestial fruits and fine wine in my Immortal Mansion. Why don't the celestial envoy and the two celestial attendants come in for a chat?"

"Dare you disobey?"

The celestial official laughed heartily and did not refuse at all.

Lu Qingfeng hurriedly led the celestial official and two celestial attendants into the Immortal Mansion. In the main hall, before each seat, attendants had already laid out celestial fruits, rare beasts, and fine wines.

In a short time.

Both host and guest enjoyed themselves.

After several rounds of drinks, the celestial official, his face flushed, seemed to remember his business. He swayed as he rose, tossed the Golden Light decree in his hand to Lu Qingfeng, and then glanced at the two celestial attendants behind him.

The fairy boy quickly stepped forward.

Each general presented his precious sword and Law Seals.

Lu Qingfeng reached out and took it. Before even opening it, his eyes lit up as he looked at the celestial official. Over the course of their drinks, he had already learned that this celestial official was actually Command-Passing Envoy from the Heaven-Watching Star-Calming Five-Thunder Marshal's Manor, named Zhou Boqing, who was in charge of overseeing the Heavenly Stars and controlling the Thunder Ministry. Although Orthodox God and without real power, he was still among the ranks of immortals, enjoying eternal bliss.

They are no ordinary Earth Immortal.

When Zhou Boqing saw Lu Qingfeng looking over, his face flushed red, and he slurred, "This is the decree of investiture of gods personally written by the Thunder Ministry, appointing the Alliance Leader as the 'Spirit-Capturing Great General' of the Heaven-Watching Star-Calming Five-Thunder Marshal's Manor, and placing him among the ranks of immortals as Thunder Ministry Divine General, with ten thousand officers and soldiers. The Spirit-Seizing Divine Seal and the Spirit-Seizing Treasure Sword have also been brought along. After the Alliance Leader receives the decree and refines the Law Seals and sword, he should go to the Marshal's Manor to meet the Marshal and then take up his post."

"Thank you, celestial official."

As Lu Qingfeng listened, his eyes grew even brighter.

He opened the imperial edict in his hand.

Amidst the glittering Golden Light, rows of golden ancient seal characters were arranged. After Lu Qingfeng looked at them, the Golden Light immediately converged and transformed into a Golden Light armor, protecting his entire body. He wore a helmet on his head, leaving only his pair of lively eyes visible.

He holds the sword in his right hand.

Left hand print.

He was truly a valiant and extraordinary general, a true divine warrior.

"Spirit-Capturing Great General!"

Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed.

Seeing the divine light shining and the celestial light emanating from them, as if they were ascending to immortality, Qin Wei and the others immediately knew that their teacher had attained enlightenment and was now among the immortals, even having a name in the Lingxiao Palace high above the nine heavens.

I was happy for a moment.

They all bowed down, respectfully saying, "Congratulations to our teacher (grandmaster) (ancestor) on your ascension to the ranks of immortals, may you enjoy eternal bliss!"

Xutianwai.

Auspicious clouds flew straight up to the ninth heaven.

There were four people on the clouds: two celestial children behind them, and in front of them, a handsome young man in a blue Daoist robe and a middle-aged man with a dignified and peaceful demeanor.

It was Lu Qingfeng, who had come from the Five Directions Realm, and Zhou Boqing, the Command-Passing Envoy the Thunder Ministry.

The two stood side by side and headed straight for the Heaven-Watching Star-Calming Five-Thunder Marshal's Manor.

"General, you have excellent skills. Not only are all your disciples True Immortal, but your eldest disciple, Fellow Qin Wei, has already attained the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit. Even if he goes to the Thunder Ministry or the Marshal's Manor, he would be qualified to be granted an immortal official position."

"I truly admire him!"

As Zhou Boqing's drunkenness subsided, he thought of Immortal Qin of the Five Directions Realm, and couldn't help but sigh with a mixture of emotion and admiration.

The position of Earth Immortal is extremely rare.

Countless True Immortal in the world are trapped at the final step. In the vast Marshal's Manor, he served as Command-Passing Envoy for many years, witnessing countless brilliant celestial generals and divine officials, all of whom ultimately turned into dust, unable to achieve Changsheng.

But in the lower realm.

A disciple of True Immortal had actually cultivated to the Earth Immortal. As far as he knew, he had only cultivated for a little over 20,000 years. Even with his vast knowledge and experience, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"My young disciple is indeed exceptionally talented; I haven't been able to offer him much assistance."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

These disciples were all True Immortal, because he formally accepted them into his fold after they became True Immortal. Qin Wei, on the other hand, already possessed the cultivation to advance to Earth Immortal in his previous life; he merely provided slight guidance.

The main issue lies with Qin Wei himself.

Therefore, he did not seek credit.

Zhou Boqing listened and thought to himself that it was indeed difficult for a mere True Immortal to teach an Earth Immortal. He then smiled and said, "General, you are too modest. With such a fine disciple, once he officially takes office, your ' God-Seizing General's Manor will have an extra capable assistant. The other generals will be envious."

Upon hearing Zhou Boqing mention this, Lu Qingfeng's expression shifted, and he quickly followed up by inquiring about the Heaven-Watching Star-Calming Five-Thunder Marshal's Manor and the powers and responsibilities of his position as the 'Spirit-Capturing Great General'.

"The gods and immortals of the Thunder Ministry have numerous powers, including the creation of all things, the movement of mountains and seas, the shifting of the four seasons, the rise and fall of Yin and Yang, and the recording of good and punishment of evil. Below them are various gods and generals in different prefectures and departments, who carry out orders in accordance with the times."

"Within the Thunder Ministry, the Heavenly Venerable and the twenty-four Heavenly Lords are the most respected. Below them are various great gods and marshals. There are so many immortals and gods that even ordinary Thunder Ministry officials would find it difficult to distinguish them. General, you are now in the Heaven-Watching Star-Calming Five-Thunder Marshal's Manor, which is headed by the Heaven-Watching Star-Calming Five-Thunder Marshal. It monitors all the heavens and myriad realms and is in charge of controlling and promoting the gods in the lower realms."

" In the Marshal's Manor, there are eleven Thunder Ministry Great General, including generals, and one hundred and three orthodox celestial officials under the Marshal."

"The general is the 'Spirit-Capturing Great General,' with ten thousand officers and soldiers. His duties are to capture and seize gods. He must travel through all realms, take over the positions of gods, and capture evil gods and wild gods. The battles are extremely fierce. The last time he took office Spirit-Capturing Great General, he was tricked by an evil god while leading his troops to conquer evil gods. He fell from his divine position and fell into the Netherworld, without even the chance to be reincarnated."

Zhou Boqing had served in the Thunder Ministry for many years and knew a great deal, far more than Lu Qingfeng could.

Now, let me tell you the story.

In the end, however, there was a hint of sadness, and a touch of reminder.

The position of Thunder Ministry Great General seems prestigious, commanding troops and dominating all realms. But the myriad realms are fraught with danger. The original Spirit-Capturing Great General, who was at least a True Lord Earth Immortal Lord and commanded ten thousand Thunder Ministry Soldiers, also fell victim to the evil god's scheme, dying and his soul vanishing into the Netherworld.

It is clear that the danger is considerable.

As Zhou Boqing spoke, his gaze shifted and landed on the young Daoist beside him. His thoughts raced, "The position of Thunder Ministry Great General is dangerous, but extremely sought after. The Spirit-Capturing Great General perished three thousand years ago, and this divine position has been vacant by the Marshal for a full three thousand years. I wonder what this young man's background is?"

Even a regular celestial official position in the Thunder Ministry is difficult to secure. Let alone the position of Thunder Ministry Great General, which wields even greater power and holds a higher rank. Countless individuals with extraordinary fortuitous opportunity and powerful backgrounds await such a position.

The reserve seats are filled with even top-tier Earth Immortal.

But no one expected that after three thousand years of idleness, it would be obtained by a True Immortal in the lower realm.

With such power and background, even Zhou Boqing, a celestial official of the Thunder Ministry and a member of the Jiejiao, would have to look at them with great respect and dared only to befriend them without daring to neglect them.

"After we get back, we should inquire about it carefully."

Zhou Boqing received the order in a hurry and set off immediately, knowing very little about this newly appointed 'Spirit-Capturing Great General'. Moreover, he had much experience in the lower realms and did not know much about the details of the Five Directions Realm.

After this trip, I will have to inquire about it from all directions.

On the side.

As Lu Qingfeng listened to Zhou Boqing's introduction, he gained a better understanding of the Thunder Ministry and the Marshal's Manor.

Upon hearing the final words, however, he felt not fear but joy.

"Traveling through all realms?!"

Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed. "My elder brother is indeed very powerful. He actually managed to obtain such a divine position for me!"

The Spirit-Capturing Great General is in charge of battle, responsible for taking control of divine positions and capturing evil gods and wild gods.

One must travel through all realms.

With this divine position, ten thousand soldiers under his command, and the support of the Thunder Ministry and the Heaven-Watching Star-Calming Five-Thunder Marshal's Manor, his chances of finding the whereabouts of the Immortal Qin Realm have undoubtedly increased significantly.

How could he not be happy?

My mind is soaring.

Looking back on the past 20,000 years, Lu Qingfeng felt even more grateful to his elder brother Great Sage Huangfeng. He was in the Five Directions Realm, and if it weren't for the Great Sage Huangfeng, he would not only be besieged by all sides today, but he would also have no chance to so easily connect with the Thunder Ministry, join the ranks of immortals, and become Thunder Ministry immortal god.

"Even if I manage the Five Directions Realm so well that they are impenetrable and have won the hearts of the people, the Five Directions Realm are ultimately the domain of powerful figures such as Jiazi Grand Year Star and Lone Star Lord. There will always be an excuse to deal with them and to take over. Even with my elder brother's intervention, it will be difficult."

"But while feigning an attack on one side, my elder brother secured a position as a god in the Thunder Ministry for me. From then on, I and the Five Directions Realm were subordinate to the Thunder Ministry. We are both under the Heavenly Court, and with the Five Directions Realm forming Immortal Alliance and gaining popularity, even these powerful figures would find it difficult to touch me."

Deployed to the Thunder Ministry.

This method truly achieves two goals at once.

Firstly, by preserving the foundation of the Five Directions Realm, he can ensure a continuous stream of disciples and followers ascending to the Earth Immortal Realm to serve him. Especially now that he is Thunder Ministry Great General, he will never lack troops.

Secondly.

Joining the Thunder Ministry was originally Lu Qingfeng's plan.

He never sought help from the Thunder Ministry to find the whereabouts of the Immortal Qin Realm and reunite with Ao Le.

His initial plan was to make a big fuss, emulating the Great Sage, and be recruited into the Heavenly Court. Unexpectedly, the situation changed, and he directly gained control of a mortal realm. Thus, carrying the fortune of an entire realm, and with his elder brother, the Great Sage Huangfeng, mediating, his entry into the Thunder Ministry was a sure thing.

Even though he was only at the True Immortal realm, the divine position he obtained was not low.

They hold real power.

It's perfect.

"Only."

"Over there, my older brother—"

Lu Qingfeng smiled bitterly to himself.

The eldest brother, Great Sage Huangfeng, first sent him into the Five Directions Realm, granting him a tremendous fortuitous opportunity. He then worked in the Thunder Ministry, helping him become the 'Spirit-Capturing Great General,' showing his utmost dedication. However, all the hard work ultimately benefited Great Sage Huangfeng and Yellow Wind Ridge ended up with nothing.

I couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"I grew up in Yellow Wind Ridge. When my elder brother saw me take human form, he treated me as his own brother, as close as blood relatives. He accepted all my requests and offered me many benefits."

It must be due to a person of great capacity and nature, following their true nature.

On the contrary, he was the one who kept many things to himself.

I felt a mix of shame and gratitude.

Lu Qingfeng stood on auspicious clouds, his eyes gazing into the depths of the void, thinking to himself, "After reporting to the Marshal's Manor, I will return to Yellow Wind Ridge."

If you calculate it carefully...

Although he has maintained contact and communication with his elder brother over the years, they are separated by two different realms and have not been able to meet. When he left Yellow Wind Ridge, he was a child of about five or six years old. Now, more than 27,000 years have passed, and he has grown into a handsome young man of about fourteen or fifteen years old.

I miss my eldest brother's hearty laughter and my second brother's frank and unconventional manner.

One thought.

He chatted with Zhou Boqing from time to time, traveled through the void, and under the guidance of immortal light, the path to immortality was as smooth as a flat road.

Not long after.

The Immortal Realm is in sight!
