Purple Mansion Immortal Court, the Sanqing's Thoughts (Please Follow, Please Vote!)

"Hehe, Master, you, Eldest Martial Uncle, and Second Martial Uncle all have ethereal, unfathomable auras. I can still make out such subtle changes."

Lu Yuan scratched his head and looked respectfully at Shangqing Tongtian Daoist as he spoke.

Beside him, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist studied Lu Yuan for a moment, then praised him with a smile. "Qingxuanzi, not only do you have a keen eye, your cultivation and Daoxing have also improved greatly."

"Second Martial Uncle, you overpraise me. Even if my meager cultivation and Daoxing have condensed the Five Qi in my chest and reached Golden Immortal Perfect through the Five Qi Returning to Origin, they are not worth mentioning!

"On the other hand, Eldest Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, and Master are of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage. With such great advances in your cultivation and Daoxing, Proving the Dao of Hunyuan is surely just around the corner!"

Lu Yuan delivered another rainbow fart of flattery, brimming with emotional value, leaving Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist feeling immensely pleased.

Even Grand Pure Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, standing nearby, gained an extra trace of fondness in their gazes toward Lu Yuan.

After all, the Sanqing Daoists currently had two obsessions in their hearts. One was to Prove the Dao of the Hunyuan Saint realm; the other was the title of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

His flattery encompassed both of those obsessions, so naturally the Sanqing Daoists were exceptionally delighted.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan was a disciple highly valued by the Sanqing. He had presented them with a secret art for condensing Primordial Violet Qi, so his words carried considerable weight before them.

"Haha, Qingxuanzi, don't feed your Second Martial Uncle such bewitching soup!"

Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist waved a hand, though the expression on his face showed just how much he enjoyed it.

Amid the pleasantries, Second Senior Sister Saint Mother Jin Ling and Immortal Elder Nanji also entered Sanqing Palace one after another.

Seeing all their disciples gathered, the Sanqing Daoists, in high spirits, took turns preaching the Dao to everyone within Sanqing Palace for three thousand years each.

Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist manifested his Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit above his head. The Three-Jeweled Jade Ruyi cast down tens of thousands of rays of profound light, while in the void behind him, the scene of 'Primordial Heavenly Venerate' opening up the 'Jade Pure Sacred Realm' vaguely appeared. Amid the vast and indistinct haze, there was only a single breath of chaos, revealing the image of the time before the primordial mist had been divided.

Shangqing Tongtian Daoist wore a fish drum at his waist and bore the Qingping Sword upon his back. His Auspicious Cloud manifested overhead, and within the Upper Pure Sacred Realm, the two qi of Yin-Yang intertwined like dragon snakes. The Five Elements Spirit Pearl revolved through birth and destruction, while Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind howled as they condensed into three thousand minor worlds.

Behind Grand Pure Daoist, strands of purple qi cloudlight emerged. Purple qi streamed from the east for thirty thousand li. His Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit manifested, and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda rolled up streams of profound light. Within the Grand Pure Sacred Realm, a supreme god or devil manifested pure, virtuous immortal light, vaguely revealing the principle that the highest good is like water.

The three Mid Quasi-Saint Great Divine Ability Users each preached the Dao for three thousand years. Over those nine thousand years, Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Jin Ling, Immortal Elder Nanji, Lu Yuan, White Crane Boy, and the Water Fire Boys all received boundless fortune.

Seemingly knowing that Lu Yuan was condensing Innate Water Element Qi, Grand Pure Daoist deliberately drew Innate Water Element Vital Qi from heaven and earth, allowing him to absorb and refine it to his heart's content.

Over those nine thousand years, not only had his comprehension of the Great Dao risen another level, Lu Yuan had also condensed the Innate Water Element Qi within his chest in one stroke, breaking through to the late Golden Immortal realm.

His Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit flowed above his head, with three pillars of yellow, white, and black qi standing tall, occasionally transforming into waves of qi that washed through the auspicious cloud.

Seeing how skillfully Eldest Martial Uncle Grand Pure Daoist had drawn over Innate Water Element Vital Qi, a legend surfaced in Lu Yuan's mind. He silently thought, So the rumors from my previous life that Eldest Martial Uncle cultivated the Dao of Water Origin alongside his other paths, comprehended the principle of 'the highest good is like water' from it, and later elevated it into Yin-Yang before verifying the Innate Dao of Virtue... perhaps they truly were not without foundation!

As the thought flashed through his mind, just as Lu Yuan savored the lingering resonance of the Great Dao preached by the Sanqing, a voice rang out. "Heavenly Dao above, I am East King Duke, Head of Male Immortals. By the decree of the Saint, I preside over the Immortal Dao. To maintain the order of the Immortal Dao, I establish the 'Purple Mansion Immortal Court' to command the Group of Immortals beneath heaven. With the supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, the Immortal Gathering Banner and Dragon Head Staff, and the supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Root Fusang Tree, I suppress the destiny of the 'Purple Mansion Immortal Court.' May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

The voice resounded across the Primordial World. The Great Divine Ability Users all looked toward Purple Mansion Prefecture, where the Heavenly Dao sent down Profound Yellow Merit Qi. Surrounded by the immortals of the East Sea, East King Duke established the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, with the vague sight of ten thousand immortals flocking to his banner.

Within Sanqing Palace.

The establishment of the Purple Mansion Immortal Court and the descent of Profound Yellow Merit Qi instantly alerted the Sanqing, whose preaching had just concluded, as well as Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Jin Ling, Immortal Elder Nanji, Lu Yuan, and the others.

Sensing a strand of destiny flowing toward Purple Mansion Prefecture overseas, the Sanqing snorted coldly and activated their supreme treasures to suppress their own destiny. They then firmly suppressed even the destiny of junior disciples such as Lu Yuan, ensuring that the Purple Mansion Immortal Court could not obtain the slightest bit more.

As the Sanqing Daoists suppressed their destiny, the Great Divine Ability Users throughout the Primordial World also activated their spiritual treasures to suppress their own.

"This Pure Yang Daoist, personally appointed by Teacher Hongjun as the Head of Male Immortals, has evidently been blinded by desire. He actually dares establish the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, attempting to use the status of Immortal Emperor to prove the Dao of the Heavenly Emperor.

"How could Dijun, Taiyi, and the mighty figures of the Yao Race Heavenly Court tolerate such wanton provocation from East King Duke!

"Even with the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race keeping them in check, Dijun, Taiyi, and the mighty figures of the Yao Race Heavenly Court will not let this Head of Male Immortals off..."

A trace of gloom appeared on Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist's face. He was clearly somewhat exasperated at the man's failure to live up to expectations.

The Sanqing had originally already made plans around East King Duke, the Head of Male Immortals, intending to use his hand to divide the authority of the Yao Race Heavenly Court.

After all, East King Duke's position as Head of Male Immortals had been personally appointed by the Saint of Violet Firmament Palace. Without a reason, even if Dijun and Taiyi were displeased, they would not dare touch him.

As long as this man presided over the Immortal Dao on behalf of the Saint and remained between heaven and earth, Dijun's authority as Heavenly Emperor would remain incomplete.

That was also why, in Violet Firmament Palace, although the Great Divine Ability Users had been quite unconvinced in their hearts, none had spoken out in opposition.

But now that East King Duke had established the Purple Mansion Immortal Court and sought to use the status of the Immortal Dao to prove the Dao of the Heavenly Emperor, even if Dijun, Taiyi, and the mighty figures of the Yao Race Heavenly Court killed East King Duke and wiped out the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, the Saint of Violet Firmament Palace might not intervene.

After all, when the Yao Race Heavenly Court was established, the Saint of Violet Firmament Palace had also issued a decree. Dijun's position as Heavenly Emperor had likewise been personally appointed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Within the Heavenly Dao Order, how could two Heavenly Emperors stand side by side? One of them was bound to fall.

This was a struggle for the position of Heavenly Emperor. Even the Saint of Violet Firmament Palace would not interfere.

"For Pure Yang Daoist to be so shortsighted, he is unworthy of being the Head of Male Immortals. I truly do not know how Teacher Hongjun came to favor such a man."

Shangqing Tongtian Daoist's expression was also unpleasant. East King Duke had rashly stepped forward and sought his own death; he deserved no pity!

But if Dijun and Taiyi were allowed to kill East King Duke and destroy the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, then Dijun's incomplete authority as Heavenly Emperor would be restored. That would be far from good for the Sanqing and the other Great Divine Ability Users!

"Pure Yang Daoist's Purple Mansion Immortal Court cannot fall too quickly. We cannot let this child Dijun so easily complete his authority as Heavenly Emperor!"

At that moment, a gleam flashed through the eyes of Grand Pure Daoist, who had always been detached and inactive. At this moment, he was no longer 'inactive'!
