Western Duo Enter Immortal Court! East King Duke Overjoyed, Proclaims It to the Primordial Wilderness!

After exchanging a glance, Zhun Ti sent a voice transmission to Jie Yin:

"Senior Brother."

"For our Western Realm, the Immortal Court may be an opportunity."

Jie Yin did not deny what Zhun Ti had said and secretly replied:

"Indeed."

"In that case, let us agree for now."

"If anything changes in the future, our Western Realm can simply withdraw."

As he spoke, Jie Yin shifted his gaze and looked straight at Xuan Xiao.

"Very well. Our Western Realm can cooperate with the Immortal Court."

"Go back and report this to Fellow Daoist East King Duke."

"Before long, I will personally bring people to Zifu Prefecture to discuss the matter of cooperation with him."

Seeing Jie Yin agree so readily, Xuan Xiao could not help but be beside himself with joy.

After all, these two of the West were the future two Saints personally designated by Old Ancestor Hongjun.

He had originally thought that Jie Yin and Zhun Ti would refuse.

Who would have thought that before he had even wasted much breath, Jie Yin had already agreed to cooperate?

"Good!"

"I shall return to the Immortal Court and report at once."

"If the Imperial Lord learns that the two seniors are willing to join the Immortal Court, he will surely be delighted!"

With that, Xuan Xiao bowed deeply to Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, then hurriedly departed.

After Xuan Xiao left, Zhun Ti narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile:

"Senior Brother, when the time comes, we must negotiate the terms properly with East King Duke!"

Jie Yin nodded and gave a soft hum.

"That is only natural!"

East Sea Zifu Prefecture was wreathed in immortal qi, auspicious mists billowing skyward.

At the very center of Zifu Prefecture floated a towering, majestic palace.

The palace was resplendent in gold and jade, luxurious beyond measure, its Fortune coiling like Dragons.

This was precisely where East King Duke's Immortal Court stood.

At this moment, within the Immortal Court Main Hall, East King Duke sat high upon the seat of honor, the pressure of a Quasi-Saint radiating from his entire body. Though he was not angry, he inspired awe.

Below the hall stood several dozen Immortal Court powerhouses in respectful formation, reporting to East King Duke on the Immortal Court's recent affairs.

"Reporting to the Imperial Lord, the seventy-two islands of the East Sea have all fallen under the Immortal Court's rule!"

"The lineage of Loose Immortals in the North Abyss has agreed to submit, but..."

"But what?"

East King Duke's gaze turned cold.

"But Old Ancestor Kunpeng seems dissatisfied and has been secretly obstructing us."

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, East King Duke snorted coldly and said furiously:

"Kunpeng?"

"Nothing more than a furred and horned creature—how dare he obstruct the great momentum of my Immortal Court?"

Just then, a streak of light shot in from outside the hall.

Looking closely, they saw a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal appear. It was none other than Immortal Monarch Xuan Xiao, who had previously gone to Mount Sumeru in the West to invite Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.

Seeing Xuan Xiao return, East King Duke's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked:

"Xuan Xiao, you have returned."

"Did you gain anything from this journey?"

Xuan Xiao hurried forward, bowed deeply to East King Duke, and replied:

"Reporting to the Imperial Lord."

"Jie Yin and Zhun Ti of the West have agreed to join our Immortal Court."

"They also said that they would personally come to Zifu Prefecture later to discuss an alliance with the Imperial Lord."

The moment Xuan Xiao's words left his mouth, the entire main hall erupted.

"What?"

"Jie Yin and Zhun Ti actually agreed to join the Immortal Court?"

"Those two from the West are the future two great Saints personally designated by Old Ancestor Hongjun!"

"Wonderful!"

"Heaven's Blessing upon our Immortal Court!"

"..."

The crowd was wildly excited.

After Hongjun's third sermon, everyone knew that the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, as well as Jie Yin and Zhun Ti of the West, would all attain Sainthood in the future.

Now that Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were willing to join the Immortal Court, it was naturally a momentous occasion.

Moreover, this matter was no trivial thing.

For it meant that in the future, the Immortal Court would have two great Saints at its back.

After hearing Xuan Xiao's report, a brilliant light burst forth in East King Duke's eyes, and his face filled with ecstatic joy.

"Hahaha!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, his heart brimming with delight.

Earlier, East King Duke had sent Xuan Xiao to Kunlun Mountain.

Naturally, it had been to win over the Three Pure Ones.

Yet who would have thought that the Three Pure Ones would not give him the slightest face.

Tongtian had even slapped Xuan Xiao straight out of Kunlun Mountain.

East King Duke had always harbored a grudge over this matter.

After all, he was the Head of Male Immortals personally designated by Old Ancestor Hongjun. The Three Pure Ones' rejection of his invitation had made him feel utterly humiliated.

Yet out of consideration for the Three Pure Ones' strength, East King Duke could only swallow his anger.

After all, the Three Pure Ones were also destined to attain Sainthood in the future.

Now, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti of the West had accepted his invitation and were willing to join the Immortal Court.

In East King Duke's eyes, this was a tremendous stroke of fortune.

"With future Saints overseeing us, why should my Immortal Court fear not prospering?"

East King Duke was beside himself with excitement. He then waved his hand, and a dazzling spiritual light emerged, transforming into an entirely jade-green longsword that drifted down before Xuan Xiao.

Dense innate spiritual qi swirled around the blade.

It was clearly a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

"Immortal Monarch Xuan Xiao!"

"You have rendered great merit on this journey. This Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Azure Spirit Sword, is bestowed upon you!"

Xuan Xiao was overjoyed. After receiving the Azure Spirit Sword, he hurriedly bowed to thank East King Duke.

"Many thanks to the Imperial Lord for this reward!"

Everyone in the hall looked on with faces full of envy.

That was an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Even if it was merely low-grade, it was enough to drive Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals mad with desire to fight over it.

"Xuan Xiao is truly lucky!"

"I wonder when I will be able to obtain an Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

"..."

As everyone looked on enviously, East King Duke smiled in satisfaction, then gave the order:

"Convey my imperial decree and proclaim it to the Primordial Wilderness."

"The two Fellow Daoists of the West, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, have entered my Immortal Court!"

Upon hearing East King Duke's command, everyone in the hall bowed to accept the order before dispersing and withdrawing.

After everyone had left, East King Duke narrowed his eyes, a self-satisfied smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were no ordinary people.

They were the future two great Saints.

Now that the two had agreed to join the Immortal Court, East King Duke naturally wanted the entire Primordial Wilderness to know this news.

He wanted them to know that his Immortal Court now had future Saints overseeing it!

Moreover, spreading this news carried another great advantage.

Many living beings of the Primordial Wilderness would choose to submit to the Immortal Court of their own accord.

After all, two future Saints had joined the Immortal Court.

"Before long, my Immortal Court shall rule the entire Primordial Land!"

After thinking it over briefly, East King Duke declared with an excited expression.

Deep within his heart, he had already begun to envision the day the Immortal Court united the Primordial Wilderness.

Very quickly, news that the two from the West had joined the Immortal Court spread throughout the Primordial Land.

For a time, the Primordial Wilderness was shaken.

Upon hearing the news, living beings of every race were astonished.

If others had joined the Immortal Court, it might not have caused such great waves.

But Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were different.

They were candidates for Sainthood personally granted Hongmeng Purple Qi by Hongjun, destined to attain Sainthood in the future.

Now that they had chosen to join East King Duke's Immortal Court, it meant that the Immortal Court would have Saint-level backers!

Naturally, news that the two from the West had joined the Immortal Court dealt a heavy blow to those factions opposed to it.

The first to bear the brunt of it was the Demon Race Heavenly Court above the Nine Heavens.
