Chapter 466
After all, both of the ancient Immortal Kings of the Longevity Heavenly Palace valued the Ziwei Immortal King so highly; if she didn't seize this opportunity to cling to this powerful figure, when would she ever get another chance?
"Good!"
It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester!
Immortal King Chang Li laughed and said, "Today's events have brought us all great joy. From now on, we should all work together to strive for the future of the Longevity Heaven Realm!"
"Fellow Daoist Weiming, please rise."
Xiao Minghuang's expression softened, and she gently lifted up the Weiming Immortal King.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ziwei!"
The Weiming Immortal King stood up with trepidation.
"Everyone, we, the beings of the Eternal Celestial Person, should help each other. If we can unite as one, we will surely overcome this difficulty and usher in the glory of the Longevity Heavenly Palace!"
"That's exactly right!"
Immortal King Chang Li chuckled and said:
"Let's all drink to each other!"
"Good!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious as they clinked their glasses.
"Dry!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily.
The Weiming Immortal King sat in the chief seat, as if he were an invisible man.
"Your Highness..." Ye Ruoshui leaned close to Xiao Minghuang, rested her hand on her shoulder, and whispered, "That Weiming Immortal King is bound to harbor evil intentions. Why not eliminate him completely instead of leaving him in the Ziwei Satellite? This place is far too close to the Imperial Court!"
You're right!
Xiao Minghuang smiled, a half-smile playing on her lips, and said, "If he didn't harbor malicious intentions, I might not have acted this way."
"I'm playing the long game, waiting to catch a big fish, to see what he's really up to."
All good things must come to an end.
The Ziwei Immortal Palace hosted a grand banquet for seven days.
Seven days later, the various groups took their leave one after another.
Xiao Minghuang also learned about the purpose of Immortal King Chang Li and Immortal King Mo Chen's trip and understood the specific plan of the pioneering movement.
This differs significantly from what the Longevity Heavenly Venerable had previously stated.
Simply put
The purpose of the pioneering movement has changed.
Previously, the method was to expand the boundaries of the Great Dao. The method involved immortals using their own Immortal Dao Law to forcibly break through the chaos and push the boundaries outward. This was time-consuming, laborious, and ineffective.
But the current goal is to find, guide, and reshape the Dead Star and its celestial laws.
As for the Heavenly Court's orders...
It seems no one cares anymore.
After all.
Although the Heavenly Court frequently issues orders, they are mostly ambiguous and do not specify what needs to be done, requiring each realm to understand them on its own.
The same applies to organizing this pioneering movement.
"... The original lineup of three Immortal Kings, fifteen Immortal Lords, and three hundred True Immortals is no longer suitable for the development of the situation, so we need to increase manpower. Fellow Daoist Ziwei, Fellow Daoist Lifeng, how many people can you recruit here?"
Immortal King Chang Li asked.
"Besides myself, I can summon nine Immortal Lords and sixty-seven True Immortals."
After a moment of contemplation, the Lifeng Immortal King responded.
"So little?"
Immortal King Chang Li Changli frowned, looking slightly disappointed.
She had assumed that an ancient star field like the Lifeng Star Domain should have at least ten Immortal Lords...
"For nearly a hundred epochs, apart from my disciples, no new Immortal Lords have been promoted in the Lifeng Star Domain, and even the number of newly born True Immortals is decreasing..."
Lifeng Immortal King had a face full of worry.
"I can send out five Celestial Lords and thirty True Immortals."
Xiao Minghuang said.
These five Immortal Lords are naturally Ye Ruoshui and the other four women, while the True Immortals are the immortals who joined the Ziwei Star Domain from other major and minor worlds at the time of its founding.
"OK."
562. The ancient character for ""
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the fact that the Ziwei Star Domain, which was only recently established, could send out five Immortal Lords at once already demonstrates its astonishing strength.
"We will each mobilize twenty Immortal Lords and one hundred True Immortals, and with the addition of the two fellow Daoists' forces, we will have a total of fifty-four Immortal Lords and two hundred and ninety-seven True Immortals. Let's choose a day to set off!"
"If we're not in a rush to leave, I can also mobilize manpower from the Weiming Star Domain."
"That would be perfect!"
"Also, what about the Weiming Immortal King? Should we take him along?"
"... Hmm, no big problem. There are four of us. Even if he has some tricks up his sleeve, he can't cause any trouble!"
"Good!"
"Then it's settled!"
In the days that followed.
Xiao Minghuang paid no attention to the changes in the outside world. After arranging the follow-up matters, she went into seclusion to cultivate.
Since ascending to the rank of Immortal King, she has been almost constantly on the go, never having a moment's rest.
Deep within the Ziwei Immortal Palace.
Xiao Minghuang sat cross-legged on the futon, slowly opening his eyes. His pupils sparkled with dazzling starlight, as if billions of stars were fading away, resembling a real universe.
Her cultivation level has now reached 3,500 tribulations.
Nebulae swirled around her, filling the entire palace.
Within these nebulae, countless mysterious runes shimmer, outlining a vast scroll. The starry sky above is brilliant and unpredictable, with each star seemingly representing a Supreme Great Dao or an unparalleled law, leaving one in awe.
"The Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chart is finally flawless..."
Xiao Minghuang breathed a sigh of relief, and with a wave of her hand, the nebula around her vanished without a trace. She returned to her normal appearance, pure and ethereal, like a banished immortal.
Just now, she integrated all five Chaos Rare Treasure given to her by the Longevity Heavenly Venerable into the Great Zhou Heavenly Star Chart at once, making up for the defects in the Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure Embryo and making it a truly flawless Immortal Dao Supreme Treasure.
In addition, the storage bag offered by the Weiming Immortal King also contained several Chaos Rare Treasure, but they were all of low quality. Xiao Minghuang distributed them to Ye Ruoshui and the other five women, and did not keep any for herself.
"It's time to take a closer look at the black iron block..."
Xiao Minghuang muttered to himself, then took out the black iron block.
The black iron block was oval-shaped, about the size of a palm, and completely black, showing no signs of spiritual activity, just like an ordinary stone.
"System, what exactly is this thing?"
If it weren't for the system prompt, she wouldn't have used two Chaos Rare Treasure to exchange for such an ordinary black iron block.
[Ding! This thing is the origin of the ancient word "", which represents the conceptual power of all "" in the world. For the host, the most important function at the moment is to provide a steady stream of life source for the host's children, so that the host can no longer be sucked out of the life source, and can improve its cultivation more independently.]
The system's answer was concise and clear, without any unnecessary details.
"So that's how it is..."
A hint of joy immediately appeared in Xiao Minghuang's eyes.
She looked down at the black iron block that looked like an ordinary stone. Who would have thought that such an inconspicuous thing was actually an Origin Ancient Script?
Moreover, it happens to be the ancient character for "life," making it arguably the ancient character she needs most right now.
Immediately, Xiao Minghuang raised her hand and gently clenched it. The black iron block shattered instantly, revealing a golden rune that was mysterious and complex, seemingly containing the most essential Tao and principles of heaven and earth. Just one glance at it could evoke a multitude of insights in one's heart.
It is the word "".
Boom!
The word "" glowed with bright divine light, fell on Xiao Minghuang's hand, and disappeared into his body in an instant.
In an instant.
Her entire body surged with the Immortal Dao Origin, and immense power filled her limbs and bones, making her feel that she possessed boundless strength, and she longed to roar to the heavens.
But soon...
Xiao Minghuang suppressed the surging power within her and forced herself to calm down.
She took a deep breath and began to use the power in her body to attack the acupuncture points all over her body, refining the golden word "".
Whoosh whoosh...
Surrounded by endless Immortal Dao Rune, Xiao Minghuang seemed to be enveloped in a myriad of Rosy Clouds, making her appear like an immortal venerable being.
She was bathed in endless Immortal Radiance.
After a long while, Xiao Minghuang opened her eyes.
"Eternal Life..."
Xiao Minghuang whispered, and then with a thought, the word "new" disappeared from her small world, and the next moment it was transferred to the lower abdomen of her body, imprinted on the flesh and bones.
"Now, I should be able to improve my cultivation level..."
Xiao Minghuang murmured to herself, breaking the self-seal and letting her cultivation grow naturally.
Instantly.
At her lower abdomen, that mysterious suction force reappeared, attempting to draw upon her Immortal Dao Law and life essence.
"They're here!"
Xiao Minghuang was on high alert and immediately activated the "Life" character, releasing her life force. Strands of pure vitality were born from her body, almost dissipating into the void.
The life force emanating from the new characters is like running water, following the mysterious suction force and canceling each other out.
"It's done!"
Xiao Minghuang breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
The problem of the loss of her life essence that had troubled her for so long has finally been resolved!
Although she still needs to absorb more Immortal Qi to counteract the Immortal Dao Law immortality, this is much simpler than absorbing the essence of life. She only needs to collect some Chaos Rare Treasure to replenish it.
"Truly worthy of being called the ancient character for life!"
Next, Xiao Minghuang took out the Innate Yin Yang Hua Sheng Seal, a top-tier Chaos Rare Treasure that even contained a trace of Innate Yin Yang Power, far surpassing ordinary Chaos Rare Treasure.
"Keep it with me; it will also have some nourishing effects on the child."
When the child was mentioned, a question arose in Xiao Minghuang's mind. She had been pregnant for so long, but apart from the fetus constantly drawing nutrients from her body, she herself felt nothing.
"When ordinary women become pregnant, they experience symptoms such as morning sickness, a noticeable bump, changes in taste, and mood swings. I don't seem to have any of those..."
Xiao Minghuang muttered to herself, the most crucial thing being that she couldn't feel anything unusual inside her stomach at all.
Is there anything special about immortals getting pregnant?
