The Immortal Ancestor's Successor

Within the Heavenly Devil Sect.

Su Lingyou was overjoyed when she saw the message that appeared before her eyes.

She and Zhang Yu had a conflict in the Old Days Graveyard, but she was targeted because of her identity as a member of the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan.

Fortunately, she abandoned the darkness and embraced the light, successfully "jumping over" from the Tai Zhen Immortal Clan to the camp of the Reincarnation Group.

From then on, she tried her best to cling to the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.

For example, buying houses built by the Reincarnation Group, investing in the Reincarnation Group's stocks, voluntarily paying the maximum proportion of Reincarnation Gold in advance, sending at least 100 people to be reincarnated at their own expense every year, and donating money to the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor every year.

However, she felt that there was always a barrier between herself and the Reincarnation Group, and she was unable to fully integrate into it.

But Su Lingyou was not in a hurry. She knew that since she was able to get involved in the missions of the Reincarnation Group, the Giant Corpse, Zhang Yu, and Kuang Tianqing, it meant that the Immortal Emperor still valued her.

"Hmph, how many people know that Zhang Yu, who is currently very popular in the Myriad Laws Sect and can go to the Layer 33 to pay homage to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor at any time, has secretly been appointed as the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince of our Heavenly Devil Sect Heavenly Devil Prince?"

"So what if he's the Wanfa Immortal Emperor? He's just a lowly beast that our Reincarnation Immortal Emperor has toyed with from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm, yet he still holds him in his hand like a Wanfa Immortal Emperor Divine Sword."

Su Lingyou, who was at the Tribulation Crossing Realm back then, has been promoted to the Ascension Realm this year.

"I knew the Immortal Emperor had feelings for me."

"This is where choice matters more than effort. If I were still under the tutelage of Tai Zhen traitor Taizhen, I might have been caught in the same trap last time. How could I possibly turn the tables and plunder other people's homes, get promoted, and break through to a higher realm?"

At this moment Su Lingyou's signature on social media is. "The Native Immortal Clan trapped my true self; only by escaping can I realize who I am."

"So what if I was born into a family of traitors? No matter how tough the conditions were, I made it through."

As she looked at the information appearing before her, she knew that she had been entrusted with an important task once again.

"Shall we welcome the new Bookholder?"

Just as the Bookholder Conference was about to begin, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor unexpectedly replaced the original Bookholder, which caused quite a stir within the sect.

Everyone is working hard to investigate and gather intelligence about the identity of this new Bookholder.

but----

Su Lingyou thought to herself, "A brand new certificate, brand new files, a brand new sect name----"

"Aside from his name being 'Wang Guiren' and his cultivation level being the Ascension Realm, everything else is practically blank."

"All we know is that he spent many years cultivating on the Underground 18th Layer. Could it be..."

At this moment, Su Lingyou couldn't help but think of a legend circulating within the Reincarnation Group.

"It is said that the Immortal Emperor detained a group of ancient powerhouses in the Underworld, forcing them to cultivate Underworld and learn the latest Immortal Dao Technique, thus creating a mysterious force undetected by any other sects."

"Could this 'Wang Guiren the Underworld' be a powerful figure from the Underworld?"

While Su Lingyou was pondering, she had already descended her projection and appeared on the Layer 11 of the Heavenly Devil Sect's territory.

Looking at the young man named Wang Guiren before him, Su Lingyou introduced herself, "Lord of Heaven Wang, Immortal Emperor has ordered me to assist you in completing the handover."

The young-looking cultivator before me gazed at the surrounding sect landscape with a sigh, saying, "When I left last time, I thought it would be a long time before I could return, but I never imagined that things could turn out so unpredictably—"

Su Lingyou sensed the other person's gaze sweeping over her and realized that the other person seemed to be observing several locations with abnormal Spatial Structure, which were the relics left behind by Ying Xintian's great battle against the immortals many years ago.

Just then, Wang Guiren turned around and looked at Su Lingyou, saying, "Lord of Heaven Su, please lead the way."

A moment later, Su Lingyou had led him to the target location, where he and Wang Guiren met the "former Bookholder."

Su Lingyou knew something about this "former Bookholder." The other party was the controller of the self-destruction Law Article, which could both prohibit all kinds of self-killing and self-harm, greatly reducing the risk to the sect's assets, and also allow for self-destruction when necessary.

The penalty accelerates the Reincarnation efficiency and dynamically adjusts the population structure at each level.

The other party is a staunch member of the Reincarnation Dao Orthodoxy Clique, and has more seniority than Su Lingyou.

Su Lingyou thought to herself, "The Immortal Emperor Faction me here, probably to support this Wang Guiren and help Wang Guiren take over the position of the Bookholder, right?"

Just as Su Lingyou was thinking this, she saw that the "former Bookholder" had summoned a group of Lower Cultivator cultivators and said, "All the books are in their hands, and the relevant test records and experimental records are all stored in their sea of consciousness—"

Seeing how readily the other party completed the handover, Su Lingyou thought to herself, "It seems I was overthinking it. Who among the Immortal Emperor's disciples would go against the tide? It's only natural to cooperate with the Immortal Emperor."

But at the same time, Su Lingyou also felt a little surprised. "You let these people hold the books for you?"

The former Bookholder chuckled and said, "I only collect books, I never touch them."

Upon hearing Su Lingyou recalled the rumors about the Immortal Ancestor's resurgence, and thought to herself, "It seems that participating in this conference may not be a good thing after all."

Just then, Wang Guiren reached into his hand and pulled out a series of books, saying casually, "Just a few books, I can carry them myself."

Su Lingyou was startled. "Seeing the projection, you transported the contents of the other person's body through the Spirit Realm? And without triggering any restrictions? This requires instantly identifying the other person's Physical Clone and physical location, while also evading layers of surveillance."

With just one action, Su Lingyou saw three illegal acts: opening the box, stealing, and climbing over the wall.

But breaking the law isn't the problem; the key is breaking the law without getting caught.

"That's possible? Then wouldn't most of the sect be free for him to buy? He could just take whatever he wanted?"

However, Su Lingyou quickly realized that experts of the same level had stronger defenses, so it wouldn't be so easy for them to take her things.

In particular, many valuable items are bound to have tracking methods, so even if they are not discovered at the time, they can be traced very quickly.

Furthermore, if large-scale anomalies occur in an individual's asset data, they will be quickly traced back to the source.

Even so, even with all the restrictions in mind, Wang Guiren before her became unfathomable in Su Lingyou's eyes.

At the same time, information about Wang Guiren is attracting attention from various people through various channels.

Within the White Bone Cult.

Through the channels of the Soul Cultivation Orthodoxy, Bai Gusheng was looking at the information on Wang Guiren.

"An unknown figure who suddenly appeared? But to be specially dispatched by the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor to participate in this conference, his strength must be considerable."

Don't underestimate it.

After some thought, Bai Gusheng ranked Wang Guiren fifth among the Bookholder of various sects, placing him in a middle-of-the-road position.

Then Bai Gusheng looked at Zhang Yu, whom he had ranked 10th, and contacted him, saying, "Mysterious Lord Zhang, are you still unwilling to trade the book?"

Seeing that the other party still refused, Bai Gusheng thought to himself, "This guy is clearly just a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator, ranking last among the ten of us. What is he relying on?"

Although the deal fell through, Bai Gusheng managed to deduce that Zhang Yu must have some hidden cards up his sleeve.

Recalling the rumors that the other party had paid homage to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor and entered and exited the Layer 33, Bai Gusheng still moved Zhang Yu's ranking up one place, tying him with another person for ninth.

Although Zhang Yu has many special qualities, there is still a difference of one realm between them, which prevents Bai Gusheng from overestimating him.

As he pondered, his gaze fell upon himself, who was ranked first. "In this competition, the most formidable contender will ultimately be the one who masters the Four Books."

"After excluding Zhang Yu, the others are myself, who possesses the ' Book of Transformation '; the holder of the ' Ascension Book ' from the Nether Palace; and the holder of the ' Flight Book ' from the Heaven Sword Sect."

Just then, Bai Gusheng looked at the message that appeared before him, took a deep breath, and said, "It's time to set off."

Inside the Myriad Laws Sect, Zhang Yu was reviewing the intelligence that Bai Zhenzhen had left for him.

"Tian Feibao, the holder of the Flight Book and an Ascension Realm cultivator from the Heaven Sword Sect Tian Feibao, was surrounded by the Spirit Realm even before he was born. He started live streaming while still in the placenta and earned his first pot of gold. He was the first person in Kunxu to do live streaming while still in the placenta, and was known as an auspicious omen of the Heavenly Sword Auspicious Sign Sect back then."

"After embarking on the Immortal Dao and beginning his swordsmanship training, he made a vow that his sword would only ever challenge those stronger than himself."

"After that, in the Spirit Realm, he insulted Golden Core Foundation Establishment and those who had reached the Nascent Soul Refining Void Nascent Soul cultivation. Time and again, he achieved great victories against those of lower status, and successfully stirred the emotions of tens of thousands of people. He was considered to have the Innate Sword Dao Sacred Physique of the Heaven Sword Sect ----"

According to A-Zhen, Tian Feibao believed that in the Spirit Realm, provoking anyone weaker than oneself would only result in the other party using one's popularity and lowering one's own status. Only by constantly provoking those stronger than oneself could one gain popularity from them and elevate one's own status. Later, this theory was also incorporated into many of the sword Cultivation Method of the Heaven Sword Sect.

While Zhang Yu was reviewing the intelligence, he also diverted a sliver of his mind to examine the preparations he had made for this conference.

Within the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, a total of 128 of Zhang Yu's clones had gathered together. Each clone's body was covered in a dazzling array of colors, and they were armed to the teeth with all sorts of Law Treasure and external Dharma Skeleton.

This is one of the results of Zhang Yu's investment of 1 billion yuan.

In addition, Zhang Yu is constantly absorbing a large amount of Bloodline Information.

After the Immortal Emperor Tai Zhen were raided, their Bloodline Information, scattered across various levels and sects, was acquired by Zhang Yu at a great expense.

After relentlessly absorbing everything day and night, Zhang Yu's [Creation Emperor Seed] finally leveled up by Level 1, reaching level 9.

The [Creation Emperor Seed], now at level 9, helped Zhang Yu break through the limit once again, increasing the level cap of all his Cultivation Method by Level 1.

"Now I can advance several important Cultivation Method from level 71 to level 72."

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "As expected, money can help you improve your strength much faster. Especially if I want to collect more information about Senior Tai Zhen Zhen's Bloodline Information, I can't do without Immortal Coin."

Just then, Zhang Yu, sensing the change in time, had a sudden realization and thought, "It's time to set off."

Before departing for the conference, Zhang Yu had to give a final report as required by the Immortal Emperor.

Just like the last time he met the Emperor, Zhang Yu made some preparations and arrived outside the 16th Layer of the Grotto-Heaven. He then summoned the gate leading to the Layer 33, stepped through the gate, and began to report to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor.

Wanfa Immortal Emperor: "Are you almost done with the preparations?"

Even though he couldn't see the other person, Zhang Yu still felt an unfathomable sense of oppression, as well as a darkness that threatened to devour his very thoughts.

Zhang Yu dared not raise his head, nor dared he have any wild thoughts; he simply said respectfully, "Your subject will certainly not fail in his mission."

The Wanfa Immortal Emperor said calmly, "Do you know the significance of this conference?"

Zhang Yu replied, "I do not know."

The Wanfa Immortal Emperor: "You must have heard about the rumors of the Immortal Ancestor's resurgence."

"This isn't exactly fake news, but it's not entirely accurate either."

"The combination of these Four Books will indeed awaken the Immortal Ancestor, but not to resurrect him; rather, to find his Immortal Ancestor."

Zhang Yu asked in surprise, "A successor?"

The Wanfa Immortal Emperor said, "After the seal on the Four Books is lifted, the convergence of all the books will trigger the opening of the Immortal Ancestor Immortal Ancestor Inheritance, initiating the selection process for the Immortal Ancestor's successor, and choosing a new generation of successors to inherit the power of the books."

"And the Ten Sects Bookholder attending this meeting are the ten candidates for the successor of the Immortal Ancestor."

"The final victor among you will receive the final inheritance of the Immortal Ancestor."

"Zhang Yu, if you can become the Immortal Ancestor, I will bestow upon you the Heaven-Opening Technique, promote you to the 9th-level Sect Affairs Officer, grant you the Ascension Realm Certificate, and recommend you to participate in the next Ascension Selection to compete for the opportunity to become an immortal."

Hearing these words and hearing this series of rewards, even Zhang Yu was shaken.

When Zhang Yu returned to the Sect Layer with a heavy heart, he was still thinking about what the Immortal Emperor had said.

"Become a descendant of Immortal Ancestor? Is such a good thing really possible?"

On his way to the conference venue, Zhang Yu sorted through his memories and thought to himself, "This time, when I meet the Emperor, I hope I won't be discovered by the Immortal Emperor, just like last time?"

Recalling the Immortal Emperor's words, Zhang Yu felt a chill run down his spine. "If what the Wanfa Immortal Emperor said is true, and this conference is indeed to select the so-called successor of the Immortal Ancestor, then it's a proxy war, isn't it?"

"Each of the ten Immortal Emperor sent a representative to compete for the Immortal Ancestor Inheritance."

"The final victor—will be completely devoured by the Immortal Emperor?"

"Let me seize the inheritance, then get promoted and break through, then participate in the Ascension Selection, and achieve immortality—is this some kind of accelerated growth accelerator for me?"

Zhan Xian said, "Seizing the Immortal Ancestor Inheritance will get us a recommendation to participate in the next Ascension Selection? Doesn't that mean there are less than 19 years left?"

"Does that mean that once we gather the Four Books, the Wanfa Immortal Emperor will be eager to help us become immortals, and then devour us?"

Zhang Yu nodded slightly to himself. At this moment, he seemed to see the Wanfa Immortal Emperor gradually opening his bloody maw at him, and he had no choice but to rush towards the other party step by step.

Fu Ji said anxiously, "This means that once we obtain the Immortal Ancestor Inheritance, after becoming an immortal— the Wanfa Immortal Emperor will receive a great boost after consuming us, which is why he is so impatient."

"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, how about we find a chance to lose?"

Zhang Yu did not answer, but Fu Ji already understood his determination.

Zhan Xian said, "We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."

Zhang Yu understood that what the other party said was true. Only by gathering the Four Books would he have the opportunity to master four Dao Orthodoxy after becoming an immortal.

He thought to himself, "After obtaining the Four Books, I can't wait to become an immortal and master the Five Dao Orthodoxy, so that I can have the means to contend with the Ten Immortal Emperors, just as the three seniors Ying Xintian, Tian De, and Demon Saint have said."

The next moment, Zhang Yu said calmly, "Fu Ji, the Immortal Emperor's progress is ultimately faster than ours. The longer this drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

"For me, being able to participate in the Ascension Selection as soon as possible and ascend to immortality through the proper procedures is actually a great opportunity."

As they spoke, Zhang Yu, relying on the special approval document granted by the conference, rushed upwards, breaking through layers of restrictions, and arrived at the Layer 20 of Kunxu.

Above the Layer 20 of the Central Extreme Heaven, a colossal Immortal Dao artifact called the Immortal Ascension Platform floated silently at the highest point of the Sect Layer.

This Immortal Ascension Platform is one of the venues for the annual Ascension Selection.

The cultivators who passed the Ascension Selection throughout history also Ascension Realm here, ascending to worlds above the Layer 20.

Now that this Immortal Ascension Platform is being used to host the Bookholder Conference, Zhang Yu feels even more strongly the importance that the Ten Immortal Emperors place on him.

Even from a great distance, Zhang Yu could already sense the bustling Spirit Realm Information inside and outside the Immortal Ascension Platform.

Due to the special permission granted for the event, countless cultivators who had purchased tickets had already lowered their projections, appearing as if they were sitting in the audience seats, surrounding the entire Immortal Ascension Platform.

This naturally includes all sorts of guys and live streams.

Zhang Yu was already used to this and wasn't surprised at all. He thought to himself, "After all, it's Kunxu. How can they not sell tickets for such an important event? And not sell GG (game currency)?"

Among the numerous Spirit Realm Information, Zhang Yu even sensed a subsequent prediction.

"Not only the conference itself, but also the subsequent revival of the Immortal Ancestor will be broadcast live in its entirety? All the slots have already been sold." Zhang Yu glanced around and found that the related live broadcasts had already been sold to more than ten companies.

These companies also gathered many cultivators from the Heaven Sword Sect, preparing to attempt to interview the soon-to-be-born Immortal Ancestor.

Despite it being a major event concerning the future of Kunxu, Zhang Yu sensed the changes on the scene and felt as if he were watching a variety show or an entertainment event, with countless cultivators only thinking about how to profit from it.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but think to himself, "If the day of the Endtime Immortal Emperor's birth truly comes, perhaps there will be a live broadcast, and some Kunxu cultivators will dare to take the risk and interview the Endtime Immortal Emperor to ask him a question."

As the Spirit Realm Information at the scene became richer, the projection descended, and more and more cultivators watched the live broadcast, Zhang Yu gradually sensed subtle changes.

"The Dao Orthodoxy such as the Chain Law Diagram seem to be accelerating the disconnect with books."

Zhang Yu was suddenly startled. "Is it because of the attention of too many people? Too many cultivators who possess the Chain Law Diagram and are influenced by their Heart Aspiring to Immortality are all focused on the gathering of the books, which has actually slightly accelerated the separation of the Dao Orthodoxy and the books? Is this also part of the Immortal Emperor's calculations?"

Zhang Yu's arrival immediately attracted the attention of numerous cultivator projections and live stream viewers.

Immediately, cultivators wanted to greet Zhang Yu, streamers wanted to ask questions, and companies wanted to buy Zhang Yu's GG slot.

But Zhang Yu rejected them all, and then his body began to flash with the GG (Gold) related to his own Grotto-Heaven Estate.

Just then, a rainbow of light pierced the sky and earth, instantly attracting the attention of countless people.

Zhang Yu looked up and thought to himself, "Qian Airen, the Ascension Realm cultivator from the Nether Palace and the holder of the ' Ascension Book '."

With a wave of her hand, Qian Airen unleashed countless crimson specks of light that rained down upon the entire arena.

The cultivators exclaimed in surprise, "They're throwing money around?!"

"It's Talent Currency!"

"Hurry and pick them up!"

Instantly, the entire scene erupted in a commotion.

Fu Ji was astonished by this scene. "Spending money like this? Kunxu actually has High Cultivator who spend money like this?"

Zhang Yu explained, "Qian Airen is one of the promoters of Talent Currency. These Talent Currency are a currency that circulates among the four major Demonic Path sects: Netherworld, Heavenly Demon Sect, White Bone, and Blissful Union. This currency is pegged to Material Person; each Talent Currency is equivalent to the life of a Material Person."

"Qian Airen is using this opportunity to promote her Talent Currency— "

Just then, a surge of Yao Qi soared into the sky, carrying with it streaks of dark green light that swept across the entire area. A voice boomed, "So-called 'Material Person' are only used extensively by your Netherworld, Heavenly Demon Sect, White Bone, and Blissful Union factions. How can they compare to the widespread use of our Heaven Demon Sect's Demon Life Currency?"

"Nowadays, all the major sects are recruiting demon talents. Our Demon Descendant are shining brightly Fourth Office and have become an indispensable part of the major sects. Tell me, which of the Ten Great Sects doesn't need Demon Descendant?"

Zhang Yu looked at the Heavenly Demon, and relevant information flashed through his mind. "Wan Yaosheng of the Heaven Demon Sect is a hybrid demon with Demon Descendant Bloodline. In recent years, he has been competing with Qian Airen to promote the Heaven Demon Sect's Demon Life Currency."

Qian Airen had transformed into a rainbow, sneered and said, "You've ruined the Immortal Ascension Platform with a stench, you wretched demon!"

As each Bookholder took the stage, the atmosphere at the event grew increasingly lively, and the popularity of each live stream room soared.

The book, the Feathering Ascension, and the resurgence of the Immortal Ancestor have all attracted the attention of countless cultivators amidst waves of rumors, gossip, and news hype.

In particular, the relationship between the creation of the Chain Law Diagram and the book has made many cultivators realize that this event may be a major event that changes Kunxu.

Finally, with the arrival of the last Bookholder, the Bookholder Conference was about to begin.

Names appeared in the sky.

"The Wanfa Immortal Emperor, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, the Heavenly Sword Immortal Emperor, the Buddha Emperor ----"

As the names of the Ten Immortal Emperors appeared one by one, standing tall in all directions and surrounding the entire area, the many cultivators understood that this meant the will of the Ten Immortal Emperors had already taken notice of this place.

The fact that the Ten Immortal Emperors merely displayed their names without revealing any power or image demonstrates their benevolence towards the world.

The Bookholder Conference has officially begun!

An invisible wave emanated from each of the Bookholder —including Zhang Yu —at this moment.

Everyone who owns a book can feel a strong, unprecedented attraction between the books they possess and those of others.

It was as if a long-suppressed power erupted from each book, enveloping all the Bookholder.

The next moment, a line of text appeared in Zhang Yu's mind.

"Would you like to be my successor?"

I've deleted and revised a lot, sorry to have kept you all waiting so long and anxious. I'll try to update tomorrow earlier than today, no later than midnight.
