The Grand Ceremony's Final Chapter and Dao Discussion
The change in the auras of the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West caused the expressions of the Daluo Golden Immortal watching the ceremony to change slightly.
Even those who had already reached the Quasi-Saint were somewhat surprised.
Back in the Purple Sky Palace, although the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West the Two were among the top in terms of cultivation, they were still somewhat inferior to the most powerful demon gods.
While others struggled to find a suitable cultivation method and were stuck at the peak of the Great Luo realm, he was only at the late Great Luo realm. Now, he had merely been bestowed the title of the head of male and female immortals by the sage, and with the accumulation of fortune, his cultivation had actually caught up with the top-tier individuals.
This was also the first time they had ever directly experienced the power of Fortune brought by the divine status of some celestial beings in the Primordial World!
At this moment, the Wood Duke and the Golden Mother began to enter another realm. Strange phenomena began to appear around them, and some Heaven and Earth Laws began to surround the Two.
The strange phenomenon did not last long. With the help of the Merit Power, in just a few incense sticks' time, with a loud shout of "Slash!" from the two, they used their Dragon Head Cane and the Pure Water Bowl to slash out the Good Corpse. Beside the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West, a Daoist priest with a face that was seven or eight parts similar to their own appeared. His figure gradually solidified from the illusory to the real.
After the two figures completely materialized, their Upper Qi surged, and a Saint Realm aura spread outwards. The Two successfully entered the Quasi-Saint realm.
Looking at the figure beside them, with whom they shared a deep connection, the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West felt as if they were looking in a mirror, a truly wondrous feeling.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"
The Three Corpses Incarnations paid homage to the original deity.
"We are one, there's no need for that."
The two experienced the profound mysteries of the Quasi-Saint Realm, then stored their Good Corpse into the Three Flowers, concealed their Quasi-Saint aura, and looked at the other guests with smiles on their faces.
Having witnessed the Two severing their Good Corpse, many cultivators in the Great Luo Realm were filled with envy. Among them, many Great Luo Early Stage Realm Dao Listener in the back row of the Purple Sky Palace were already somewhat tempted to cultivate under the patronage of the Immortal Court.
Those who can remain calm and composed are people with firm Dao Heart and full of confidence in themselves. They are determined and believe that relying on their own abilities, they may take a little longer, but they will eventually succeed in Corpse Slashing.
Some powerful beings who have already reached the Daluo Golden Immortal realm are also very fortunate to have come to witness the ceremony. Being able to witness the process of Corpse Slashing with their own eyes will greatly help them in their cultivation of the path of Corpse Slashing. It is believed that after the ceremony, it will not be long before they are able to break through their realm and step into the Quasi-Saint realm!
With a smile on his face, East King Duke casually bowed to the group of cultivators and said:
"Fellow Daoists, please excuse my poor performance!"
In contrast, the Queen Mother of the West, with a hint of apology on her face, bowed to everyone, then stood up and said with a smile, "I just broke through to a higher realm and couldn't contain my aura for a moment. I apologize to all of you fellow Daoists and hope you will forgive me!"
Seeing this, everyone said they didn't care, but what they really thought was unknown to others.
However, with the comparison, people should have more respect for the Queen Mother of the West, since she is of a higher status and her attitude is more friendly.
Now that the Immortal Court Ceremony has been completed and its establishment has been officially announced to the world, another wave of celebrations is about to begin.
The East King Duke rose from his seat and declared that all the immortals should continue playing music and dancing, and all the guests should continue to enjoy the music, food, and drink, and that everyone should celebrate together.
Having witnessed the previous battles and the subsequent scene of Merit during the Heavenly Dao prayers, the many cultivators at the Grand Unity Realm and below who had come to Penglai were whispering and discussing among themselves.
Many cultivators who originally wanted to join the Immortal Court have now solidified their minds; some wavering cultivators have also made up their minds to attach themselves to the Immortal Court; and some cultivators who originally had no such thoughts have been influenced by others while communicating with them and have begun to think that it is good to take shelter under a big tree.
From this moment on, the prestige of the Immortal Court began to spread from these people, and as the ceremony concluded, it would surely reach the entire Primordial World.
Currently, the Immortal Court welcomes all cultivators who wish to join, registering them all.
Standing in the crowd, Jiang Yun looked at the beautiful scene of flowers and brocade, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Looking at the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West sitting in the main seats, he had seen their behavior. The East King Duke's ambition and desire for power were growing day by day. He hoped that his ambition would match his ability.
As for the Queen Mother of the West, judging from her expression and demeanor, she was truly clear-headed. Although she was in the mortal world, she was not disturbed by it. Status, power, fame and fortune were all fleeting to her. She only had her heart set on the Dao. Later, when the Immortal Court was destroyed, she was able to withdraw unscathed. She was truly remarkable!
Having established the Immortal Court and gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, from this moment forward, the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West are the heads of the Immortal Court, an officially certified law enforcement agency.
For cultivators below the Golden Immortal level, it is up to them to express their wishes and apply to join the Immortal Court. However, cultivators at the Golden Immortal and Taiyi levels are considered rulers of their own realms in the Primordial World, and the Immortal Court usually extends invitations to them.
Once a cultivator reaches the level of the Great Luo Dao Lord, few are willing to join a faction. Even if someone wants to join the Immortal Court, they need to consider their reputation and cannot shamelessly beg for it. Therefore, cultivators at this level either subtly express their desire to join and then receive an invitation from the other party, or the Immortal Court feels they can be recruited and extends an invitation on its own initiative. In any case, it always requires the East King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West to personally intervene.
This grand ceremony presents a great opportunity to recruit a group of people.
Of course, East King Duke wouldn't directly and bluntly extend an invitation. So, after a period of Song and Dance, dancing, and feasting, East King Duke, as the host, spoke up:
"It is a rare occasion for fellow Daoists to gather here. Why don't we take this opportunity to discuss the Dao? What do you all think?"
Upon hearing the suggestion from the East King Duke, none of the people present refused. Discussing the Dao was a good thing for them, as they could learn from others' experiences.
Next, some powerful figures who were originally planning to leave immediately after watching the ceremony stayed behind. Even the Three Pure Ones, who originally intended to return to Kunlun Mountain, did not plan to leave right away.
After all, there are so many Quasi-Saint present. Exchanging ideas with fellow cultivators of the same realm will greatly help one's future cultivation of the Corpse Slashing, and may even help one identify and fill in any gaps in one's knowledge.
Upon realizing this, some powerful figures nodded in agreement, and others who were somewhat interested also expressed their approval.
And so, after the banquet, a grand discussion of the Dao began.
