Mount Sumeru, the Grand Hall.
After Jieyin and Zhunti broke through to the Quasi-Saint and consolidated their cultivation, they emerged from seclusion.
Just then, a messenger sent by the East King Duke arrived at the gate of Mount Sumeru, conveying the invitation from the Immortal Court.
Therefore, the two summoned their personal disciples and Inner Disciple.
When everyone arrived at the main hall, they first offered their congratulations to the Two.
"Disciple congratulates both masters on attaining Quasi-Saint, your cultivation has greatly advanced, and you are on the verge of reaching the Hunyuan!"
Jieyin and Zhunti slightly, signaling everyone to rise.
"In the past, the Dao Ancestor ordered the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West to respectively govern Male Immortal. Now, the Two, following the Dao Ancestor's orders, have established Immortal Court to manage all the immortals. A thousand years later, they will announce this to the prehistoric Primordial World from Penglai Immortal Island and invite everyone to attend the ceremony. My Mount Sumeru lineage is also among those invited."
Since you entered the sect, you have mostly cultivated within the mountain gate. This ceremony is a good opportunity, as many powerful figures from the Primordial World will also be going to Penglai to attend. We the Two plan to take you along so you can broaden your horizons. You must be careful with your words and actions and not disgrace the Mount Sumeru lineage of cultivators."
Zhunti informed his elite disciples about attending the ceremony.
After making some preparations, the group followed Jieyin and Zhunti to Penglai.
Jiang Yun was also traveling with the group. He wasn't particularly interested in attending the ceremony at the Immortal Court and didn't have much desire to go. However, considering that only one of the three Penglai Immortal Island Three Immortal Islands of the Eastern Sea, Penglai Immortal Island, had been created, he thought he might take this opportunity to go to the East Sea to look for opportunities and see if he could find the remaining two islands, Fangzhang Yingzhou.
If we can find these two islands, we might even find some top-grade Spirit Root and Spiritual Treasure. Legend has it that Yellow Middle Plum, one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, is on Fangzhang Island. I wonder if it's true or not!
This time, the Black Tortoise didn't come along. He had always stayed in the sea since birth and had no interest in the ocean. He simply hid in his Cave Abode and went to sleep.
During their journey, Jiang Yun and his fellow disciples chatted for a while.
Now, several of my Personal Disciples have all reached the Golden Immortal realm. My second disciple, the Yaoshi, has cultivated the fastest and has already entered the Late Golden Immortal. Maitreya and Ksitigarbha have also broken through to the early Golden Immortal stage. The other inner disciples have also reached the Profound Mystic Immortal.
Their Mount Sumeru lineage now primarily Dual Cultivation of Dharma and Body, possessing a solid foundation and considerable strength among those in the same realm.
It's a bit of a pity that Innate Spiritual Treasure are scarce in the Western Region. Otherwise, with the Laws within those Spiritual Treasure to comprehend, their cultivation after reaching the Golden Immortal Realm would have been much smoother.
In his Pengxuan Grotto-Heaven, there are still quite a few low-grade Bailian. Now that he possesses higher-quality Spiritual Treasure, he has no use for them. In the future, he can consider arranging them for a few junior brothers who take a liking to him.
At this moment, on Penglai Immortal Island in the East Sea, a large number of Immortal Maidens Strongmen were busy preparing for the banquet of the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven.
Countless delicacies and Nectar and Jade Dew were brought out, and many Spirit Root and fruits from the immortal island were picked and arranged on fruit platters in preparation for the banquet.
To prepare for this grand ceremony, East King Duke also visited his old neighbor in the East Sea — the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace —and borrowed a lot of supplies from the Dragon King. By claiming that he was the Head of Male Immortals bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, the Dragon Palace had no choice but to bleed a little money and donate a lot of immortal armor, Immortal Soldiers and other equipment.
Having obtained some supplies and equipment from the Dragon Palace, the East King Duke armed his subordinates, the scattered immortals. Looking at them clad in gleaming silver armor and wielding Immortal Soldiers, they truly resembled an elite army!
In order to make a good impression at this grand ceremony and establish the majesty of the Immortal Court in front of all the Primordial World Powers, the East King Duke racked his brains and put in a lot of effort. The entire island was filled with a prosperous scene!
In a celestial palace on Penglai Island.
The majestic East King Duke and the dignified Queen Mother of the West sat facing each other.
Since he found Penglai Island, an Immortal Blessed Land, in his early years, and obtained a Myriad Immortals Formation Diagram and many Spiritual Treasure Spirit Root from the island, his ambition has grown day by day as his cultivation has continued to increase. Otherwise, he would not have recruited various wandering immortals in Penglai overseas to establish his own power.
Until the end of his second sermon, when the Saint Hongjun appointed him to manage the Primordial World Order, his ambition finally reached its peak.
Looking at the Queen Mother of the West sitting opposite him, the East King Duke wore a smug smile. Over the years, he had been traveling far and wide for the establishment of the Immortal Court, and soon he would reap the rewards.
"A thousand years later, witnessed by our fellow Daoists in the Purple Sky Palace, we the Two will proclaim to Heaven and Earth that we will establish Immortal Court, which will surely gain the approval of Heavenly Dao and bestow upon us Merit and Fortune."
At that time, by gathering the collective Fortune and drawing upon the Aura of Merit Heavenly Dao, you the Two I will be able to successfully Corpse Slashing and achieve Quasi-Saint.
With the help of Fortune, the two of us will surely be able to take the lead among the immortals in cultivation. After that, we will have enough strength to unify the Primordial World universe, make everyone submit, and fulfill the mission given to us by the Saint Hongjun.
The East King Duke passionately recounted his vision to the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West listened quietly to his words and nodded calmly.
After a moment's hesitation, she said, "We made an agreement before that you cannot force any female cultivators who do not wish to enter the Immortal Court! I will allow them to West Kunlun and cultivate in peace."
The smile on East King Duke's face remained unchanged.
"Of course. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Besides, having your help is the most important thing."
Previously, in order to persuade the Queen Mother of the West, the Head of Female Immortals, to establish Immortal Court with him, he had repeatedly tried and agreed to many of her requests, thus making a considerable sacrifice.
Fortunately, the things the other party mentioned were all trivial matters to him and within his tolerance, so he readily agreed. After the two made a vow with their Dao Heart, the Queen Mother of the West also took the opportunity to reside in the Immortal Court.
Of course, Male Immortal still make up the majority of the Immortal Court today, and most of the personnel were developed by the East King Duke. Therefore, within the Immortal Court, the East King Duke wields far more power than the Queen Mother of the West.
In the celestial palace, the East King Duke stayed for a while before getting up to leave.
During this period, the construction of the Immortal Court has achieved considerable results. The East King Duke came here specifically to show off and at the same time to deepen the bond between him and the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West did not care about power in the Immortal Court. She only wanted to use the Fortune cultivate. The Immortal Court was a huge Whirlpool. The more power one had, the deeper the responsibility and Karma one would bear. In the end, it would be difficult to get out. Therefore, she never fought for any power.
Sitting alone in her celestial palace, the Queen Mother of the West watched the East King Duke depart, her eyes flickering with light and shadow, and she sighed.
"The future is worrying; we must proceed with caution and prudent action from now on!"
As powerful beings nurtured in the Kunlun Mountain Range, the Queen Mother of the West and the Three Pure Ones of the East Kunlun actually had some connections. She also always chose to befriend some female cultivators in the Primordial World, hoping that these connections would come in handy in the future.
