"Investiture of Immortals!"
He felt a torrent of information flood his mind, causing him to cry out in pain.
But then, surprise and joy appeared in his eyes.
Investiture of Immortals, Investiture of the Gods, so that's how it is!
This Investiture of Immortals was actually a spiritual treasure born specifically for the Heavenly Emperor. However, because it was too heaven-defying, the Heavenly Dao split it into two upon its birth.
The Investiture of the Gods of later generations was refined by Hongjun in imitation of the Investiture of Immortals.
As expected, there was a reason why the original East King Duke met misfortune and the West Queen Mother went into seclusion.
The abilities of the Investiture of Immortals were almost identical to the Investiture of the Gods.
Not only could it be used to restrain the Immortals, but if an Immortal on the list died, their Auspiciousness could be consumed to revive them.
One had to know that the Immortals in his Immortal Court now were far superior to Haotian's.
Most of the Immortals under Haotian were from the Intercepting Sect, obeying commands but not decrees. Only Li Jing, Nezha, and a few million newly-made Heavenly Soldiers and Generals truly submitted to the Heavenly Court.
But even so, they still suppressed the Three Realms. Why? Because these people were immortal and could not be killed.
Was it a pity to stage a play with Sun Wukong and throw away a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals? Not at all!
You kill him one moment, and the next he's resurrected on the Investiture of the Gods.
The Investiture of Immortals was the same, even more mysterious than the Investiture of the Gods.
Once on the Investiture of the Gods, one's cultivation could never increase again in this life.
But the Investiture of Immortals not only had no such restriction, but it even accelerated cultivation speed as the Immortal Court grew stronger.
A group of fearless, high-cultivation Great Powers serving the Immortal Court – he truly didn't know how he could possibly lose!
"Hahahaha!"
The East King Duke couldn't help but laugh heartily, his gaze piercing, shooting straight into the nine heavens and ten earths, as if he could see the Immortal Court sweeping away all enemies.
"Next, we prepare for the Investiture of Immortals!"
He grabbed the Investiture of Immortals floating beneath the Heavenly Emperor Seal, a surge of heroic spirit filling his chest.
"Clang!"
Dao Sound rang out, and a golden light shot from the Heavenly Court towards all parts of the Great Desolation, imbued with supreme might.
Then, the Edict slowly unfurled, and mysterious Great Dao Runes emanated supreme divine light, suppressing all demons, monsters, ghosts, and spirits in the world.
"It's the Heavenly Emperor's Edict, it's the Heavenly Emperor's Edict!"
"The Heavenly Emperor commands, return to the Heavenly Court!"
"We respectfully obey the Edict!"
In the divine mountains and four seas, in the blessed lands and heavenly caves, whether they were in seclusion or teaching disciples, none hesitated. They all rushed towards the Heavenly Court.
Such a massive movement also attracted the curiosity of all beings.
"Why is the Immortal Court making such a big move all of a sudden? So many Great Powers!"
"Could it be that the Immortal Court is finally preparing to unify the Great Desolation and has recalled them to prepare to suppress the Witch and Monster Races?!"
"No way, the world has finally been peaceful for a while, could it be that war is about to break out again?"
Some were excited by the Immortal Court's actions, while others were deeply worried.
Covering the Heavens.
Nameless Ancient City.
After Ye Fan and the others finished looting the Purple Dragon Girl, they went into hiding within the city, guarding against retaliation from the Myriad Dragon Nest.
Although they hadn't killed the Purple Dragon Girl, the Supreme Dao Emperor Weapon, the Myriad Dragon Bell, had suffered heavy damage, and they had also plundered all the Great Emperor's Progeny's belongings.
There was no need to guess that the Myriad Dragon Nest was furious at this moment.
"Kid Ye, we've been hiding for so long, the heat should have died down by now. Let's go dig up the Feathered God Dynasty's ancestral graves!"
Duan De rubbed his hands, his eyes narrowed into slits, looking endearingly naive.
The Purple Dragon Girl's treasure trove was extremely generous. Although he hadn't fully digested it yet, it had allowed him to advance a major realm.
Now, he was a master of the Four Extremes Realm, and his desire for the Feathered God Dynasty's Immortal Treasures was even stronger.
"Woof! Kid Ye, this Feathered God Dynasty is a Great Emperor Dao Lineage. Legend has it that they were annihilated overnight for provoking a supreme being!"
Black Emperor walked into the small courtyard, picked up a pot of tea from Ye Fan's stone table, and gulped it down.
"Do you know what this means? It means that the treasures and precious medicines in the Feathered God Dynasty are still in their original place. We might even find their Supreme Dao Emperor Weapons!"
Black Emperor was also extremely excited. That score with the Purple Dragon Girl had whetted its appetite, and the treasures of the Feathered God Dynasty were no less than the Purple Dragon Girl's, perhaps even more.
Although it was extremely perilous, with the help of the Heavenly Emperor Scroll within Ye Fan, they would definitely be able to retreat unscathed.
"No, I have important things to do."
Ye Fan shook his head and put down the teacup in his hand.
"What's more important than the Feathered God Dynasty? Kid Ye, I'm not Dao Master saying this to you, but if you don't work harder with your physique, you'll probably never become a Saint!"
Duan De blinked and said with a hint of disappointment.
"Something incredibly important."
Ye Fan didn't explain. After refusing again, he returned to his room and began to cultivate in seclusion.
In reality, he had activated the Chat Group's live broadcast function.
Five days had already passed, and the Imperial Sovereign was about to start the broadcast. Nothing was more important than this.
At the same moment, Ying Zheng and others also ignored everything else and logged in at the same time.
Great Desolation.
As the foremost power in the Great Desolation, the Immortal Court's grand actions naturally captured everyone's attention.
They all wanted to know what big moves the Immortal Court was preparing.
East Kunlun.
Yuanshi watched countless Immortals and Great Powers ride dragons and tigers towards the Heavenly Court, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"They just established the Immortal Court and are already causing such a huge stir. Do they really think the Great Desolation belongs to them!"
They, the Three Pure Ones, considered themselves Pangu's True Lineage and naturally could not stand the arrogance of East King Duke.
"I think he wants to declare his sovereignty and exercise the duties of the Heavenly Emperor. What a pipe dream!"
"Exactly. Aren't they afraid of having too big an appetite and choking themselves to death?"
Tongtian nodded in agreement.
Other matters were fine, but if East King Duke wanted to unify the Great Desolation, he would naturally not agree.
The Great Desolation was opened up by Father God Pangu. If anything, they, the Three Pure Ones, were the ones qualified!
They didn't care before because they didn't think the other party could reach this point.
Taishang also lost his state of detachment, and his expression slightly sank.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, the Calamity has just passed. We really shouldn't start another conflict. If East King Duke defies the world and starts a racial war, we can only lend a hand to the Witch and Monster Races."
Hearing this, Tongtian frowned. In his opinion, the three of them, as Quasi-Saints, could easily destroy East King Duke even with the countless Great Powers flocking to him. How could they collude with others?
"Eldest Brother's words are very wise!"
But Yuanshi on the side repeatedly agreed. East King Duke's combat power was evident when the Immortal Court was established.
Di Jun and Taiyi, two Quasi-Saints, although they hadn't severed their three corpses, they possessed the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell. Even so, they were no match for East King Duke, their combat power was heaven-defying.
The three of them might lose face if they made a move, but supporting the Witch and Monster Races was different.
Not only could they use their strength to eliminate East King Duke, but they could also provoke animosity between the two races. Then, they might even reap the benefits.
