The East Sea, Penglai Immortal Mountain!
East King Duke sat cross-legged atop a Creation White Lotus, a towering tree above his head. A flash of enlightenment flickered in his spiritual platform.
The creatures around him lay peacefully on the grass, carefree as they played and frolicked.
A cute white rabbit had probably grown tired of playing and was dozing beneath a towering tree.
But as soon as it lay down, its long ears suddenly perked up. It looked around, its ruby-like eyes full of confusion, then, unable to resist its drowsiness, flopped back down.
East King Duke slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of delight flashing through them.
"Back then, the Chaos Green Lotus was affected by the tribulation of creation and split into four treasured lotuses!"
"The Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus can gather merit and ward off all techniques!"
"The Twelve-grade Karma Red Lotus can give birth to karmic fire, which burns the soul and leaves no opening!"
"The Three Pure Ones divided the Twelve-grade Creation Green Lotus into the Green Duckweed Sword, the Jade Ruyi, and the Taiyi Whisk. Each one is an Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"Only this Twelve-grade Creation White Lotus has remained without a trace. It has never appeared before, either. I never imagined that it would contain the Way of Faith."
East King Duke laughed delightedly. This brought him one step closer to his plan to establish an eternal, undying Immortal Court.
"During the Great Desolation Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao was obscured, and even Saints couldn't make deductions. Yet I know many secrets. If I seize this opportunity, the rewards will surely be immense. I was worried my cultivation was too weak to accomplish everything, but with the Creation White Lotus's help, things will be much easier!"
Chat Group.
[Ye Fan: I uploaded the Daoist Scripture to the system's shop. If you're interested, you can download it yourself.] [Little Dragon Girl: The Daoist Scripture? I get sleepy as soon as I start reading. I'll pass!] [Yue Buqun: Are you also a member of our Daoist sect, young friend? Though Mount Hua has fallen into decline, we inherited the legacy of the Quanzhen Sect. Our library holds many Daoist texts that I could give you.] [Ye Fan: The Daoist Scripture I mean isn't the kind you're thinking of. They say it's a cultivation method created by an ancient taboo figure. It's incomplete, but it's enough to open the Sea of Suffering and become a cultivator.] [First Emperor of Qin: ??? A cultivator? Can one attain immortality?!] [Ye Fan: (Awkward) No, but cultivators can travel through the sky and earth. They can even cross the void, though they can't live forever.] [Yue Buqun: That powerful?! Thank you, young friend Ye. I'll accept your kind offer!] [Ye Fan: @First Emperor of Qin, in my world, immortality is only a legend. If you want to live forever, perhaps only the Group Leader can manage it.] [Little Dragon Girl: Right! Why hasn't the Group Leader sent a single message yet?] [First Emperor of Qin: @Group Leader, Heavenly Emperor, do you have an art of immortality you could grant me? If you agree, I... am willing to offer the strength of the entire nation in return!]
Watching the Chat Group, East King Duke smiled with satisfaction.
Then he uploaded the visualization method he had prepared long ago to the group for free.
Chat Group.
[Heavenly Emperor uploaded the Heavenly Emperor Visualization Diagram. You may download and view it!] [Ye Fan downloaded the Heavenly Emperor Visualization Diagram!] [First Emperor of Qin downloaded...] [...]
When they opened the image after downloading it, they saw East King Duke standing atop the Twelve-grade Creation White Lotus, holding the Sky Measuring Ruler and with the Myriad Immortals Scroll above his head, radiating ten thousand rays of golden light.
Beside him stretched boundless chaos. Yet with East King Duke's arrival, even the terrifying chaotic heavens and earth seemed unable to withstand him. In the depths of their hearts, only a hazy yet vivid image remained.
Silence!
The lively Chat Group fell into deathly silence.
Only after a long while did someone break the hush.
[Yue Buqun: When I first saw this Visualization Diagram, I found that I'd learned a cultivation method without even trying. Did that happen to you, too?] [Little Dragon Girl: (Raises hand) (Raises hand) Me, me! I learned it too. It seems really powerful. Could this be the cultivation method the Heavenly Emperor passed down to us?!] [First Emperor of Qin: A cultivation method bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor? @Ye Fan, can this method grant immortality?] [Ye Fan: I... I don't know. This Visualization Diagram is too profound. But after completing just one cycle, my lifespan increased by several hundred years. Even if it can't grant immortality, it should at least let people live for ten thousand years!] [First Emperor of Qin: Ten thousand years! Even that would be wonderful. Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for bestowing this method. I'll surely use the strength of the entire nation to build you a divine statue and worship you every day!] [Yue Buqun: +1!] [Little Dragon Girl...]
It was clear that everyone was extremely excited. Ye Fan had even logged off without saying so much as a word of thanks.
East King Duke wasn't displeased.
On the contrary, he was rather pleased.
Judging by the trend, these people would soon become his believers.
The visualization method was essentially a key.
Once they cultivated it, they could use their Dharma Appearances to communicate with East King Duke through the mysterious connection between them.
Ordinarily, the two were separated by countless worlds. Even if they generated Faith Power, East King Duke shouldn't have been able to receive it.
But now, with the Creation White Lotus, that problem was solved.
With the Creation White Lotus suppressing the faith, East King Duke could receive the Faith Power as soon as it was generated.
As for whether the people in the Chat Group could resist the temptation and refrain from cultivating it—
He hadn't even considered that possibility.
There was no need to mention the others. Though Ye Fan's world had cultivation methods, it was still far below the Primordial World in level.
The Shrouding the Heavens World was merely a broken remnant of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths.
Even compared to the Perfect World where Shi Hao lived, East King Duke was among the strongest.
The Immortal Emperors there could sever the past from the river of time and transcend it themselves.
In the Primordial World, they would only be at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
By that reckoning, East King Duke was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
And the Mortal Immortals of the Shrouding the Heavens World were only Quasi-Immortal Kings.
The Great Emperors who hadn't even become immortals were even further beneath them.
"While they're still cultivating, I can start preparing to establish the Immortal Court!"
With that, East King Duke rose and headed out of the immortal mountain.
Cultivate?
In the Primordial World, a single retreat could last hundreds or even thousands of years.
He had lived for dozens of Kalpas since his birth—billions of years—and only then had he reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
No matter how hard he cultivated now, he couldn't make much progress in a short time.
It made far more sense to wait for the Chat Group's feedback.
Shrouding the Heavens.
Purple Mountain.
Ye Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, his entire body shining with divine light. The chanting of an Immortal King echoed from within him.
"Woof, woof, woof! What kind of opportunity did Ye Kid come across to make his body radiate such a strange phenomenon?"
A Big Black Dog bared its teeth as it stared at Ye Fan, as if looking for a chance to bite him.
Beside it, a big, robed fat man drooled shamelessly.
"Exactly! He got something good and won't share it. That means he doesn't consider us one of his own!"
"I can feel Ye Fan's body constantly evolving. One bite would probably be like eating a Peerless Treasure Medicine!"
Duan De casually wiped the drool dripping from his mouth with his sleeve.
"How about one bite each?"
"Woof! This Demon Emperor wants two bites..."
