" The Great Desolation Heaven is a remote and desolate place, where the Immortal Dao is not flourishing."
Although there were immortals, gods, and Buddhas in earlier times, they have all disappeared due to unforeseen circumstances.
"Therefore, this Imperial Discourse is set in the Great Desolation Heaven, partly to explore the relics of the immortals and gods of the Great Desolation Wilderness."
"Specific scope..."
Ji Wan spoke of the Imperial Discourse decree and regulations.
She paused slightly after mentioning the specific scope of the Imperial Discourse.
Then, he continued.
"The specific scope... is the entire Great Desolation!"
"The entire Great Desolation?"
"That's right, at that time, a supreme treasure will manifest in the Great Desolation's River of Time, isolating it from the Heavenly Dao."
"You shall enter the Great Desolation to Imperial Discourse and explore the relics of immortals and gods."
Those who achieve the highest merit will be Imperial Discourse; those who achieve the next highest merit will receive no reward or honor.
"The specific achievements and pacification will be reported by this Emperor Lord to the Emperor Venerable for final decision."
"As for the reward for those who achieve merit... they will be granted a wisp of the Emperor Lord Origin."
When Ji Wan uttered the four words "Emperor Lord Origin".
All six people present were taken aback.
The Imperial Discourse's reward is the Emperor Lord Origin!
This was something no one expected.
What is the Emperor Lord Origin?
The Emperor Lord Origin is a wisp of essence from the tree that the Emperor Lord refined to its ultimate form after becoming the Nine-Lifetime Great Dao Tree.
It is neither Immortal Power, nor the Great Dao, nor Divine Ability.
It is the purest drop of water squeezed out by the passage of time from the Emperor Lord's nine lifetimes of enlightenment.
Even an ordinary Emperor Lord might not be able to condense three drops of this substance after a million years of arduous cultivation.
If one obtains it, one can directly skip the comprehension of the fruition in one lifetime.
If Profound Immortal obtains even a wisp of this, they can directly glimpse the threshold of the Immortal Lord's position, skipping the detours that others take many years to complete.
If Golden Immortal obtains even a wisp of this, their cultivation level will be instantly refined as if Taiyi were present, saving them a lifetime of arduous cultivation.
Furthermore, this source is imbued with a trace of the Emperor Lord's aura.
Those who obtain it have a very high probability of becoming Emperor Lord when they attain enlightenment in the future.
Such a reward naturally surprised them.
"What a generous reward!"
" Emperor Lord Origin, I am already a Heavenly Immortal. If I were to receive this reward, wouldn't I instantly become Profound Immortal?!"
"More importantly, this item is not a treasure that forces growth, but rather something that enhances the foundation of one's entire life."
"Obtaining this treasure will not harm my foundation, nor diminish my achievements as a Nine-Lifetime Emperor Lord, and will even enhance my hope of becoming Emperor Venerable in the future!"
"My darling!"
"..."
Faced with Ji Wan's words about the Emperor Lord Origin.
The thoughts of the group were largely the same.
Everyone was excited and determined to win.
The Emperor Lord Origin!
This is no ordinary treasure.
Although they all had extraordinary backgrounds, some possessed treasures and food that could enhance their cultivation levels.
But there's no such thing as a free lunch.
As direct descendants of the Emperor Venerable, they knew that every precious food or sustenance they consumed on their cultivation journey came with a corresponding price.
The cost will ultimately manifest when one achieves the Emperor Venerable.
If the price is too high, no matter how talented or gifted you are, you will not be able to obtain this prestigious position.
This secret is so closely guarded that few other immortals would know it unless it was personally passed down to the Emperor Venerable.
However, the Emperor Lord Origin is not included in this category.
It is a truly supreme treasure!
This is also why, despite their extraordinary backgrounds, Di Tianshu and others are only at the Heavenly Immortal level.
Of course, this excludes the limitations of supplies and treasures.
Among the crowd, there are also those who practice the Reincarnation Method to solidify their foundation.
Therefore, their cultivation level is not outstanding, but these few people Heavenly Immortal who are different from ordinary Heavenly Immortal.
In terms of actual combat strength, these individuals are likely capable of fighting opponents of higher ranks!
"So... how do we determine if we've accomplished something?"
Di Tianshu voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.
The others also looked at Ji Wan.
Ji Wan her gaze slightly, her tone indifferent.
Whether one has achieved merit or not will be determined by the manifestation of the supreme treasure.
"You only need to do your best within the Great Desolation Heaven, display the might of our Heavenly Realm, and explore the secrets of the Great Desolation."
"Speak, "Ji Wan, without waiting for a response from the others.
He waved to the empty space behind him.
"Perfect timing. Since all the Immortal Court leaders from various realms are present today, let my disciple introduce them to you all."
"When we reach the Great Desolation, you will be able to look after each other."
" Taixuan, come here."
Ji Wan called out softly.
A figure slowly stepped out from the void behind the hall.
The newcomer was tall and thin, with a cold and aloof face, sharp and heroic eyes, and brows like knives.
He wore a simple, dark blue Daoist robe, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"Master."
"Well, let me say hello to everyone."
"Yes."
"I am Li Taixuan, a disciple of Emperor Wan, fellow Daoists."
Li Taixuan spoke in a flat tone.
His gaze, however, was sharp as he swept it across everyone's faces.
" Li Taixuan?"
"Is this the one who received the Emperor Venerable's personal praise, who said this child resembles me, and who was personally taught by the Emperor Lord?"
"He's definitely not simple; he doesn't seem like an ordinary cultivator."
Di Tianshu six nodded in response to Li Taixuan.
Their thoughts were varied.
They knew little about Li Taixuan, the Emperor Lord's personal disciple.
All they knew was that the other party had ascended from the lower realm.
Proficient in all paths.
I know nothing else.
Li Taixuan seemed unwilling to say anything more.
He greeted them once, then remained silent.
Seeing this, Ji Wan said no more.
Atop the three heads and six arms, a glass-like face slowly opened its mouth.
"Alright, this concludes the Imperial Discourse Decree. The Immortal Court of all realms shall rest for three years."
"Three years later, we will set off for the Great Desolation; the journey ahead is long and arduous."
"With such a large force, it will take at least a hundred or two hundred years. By the time we approach the Great Desolation, it will be the perfect time for the Imperial Discourse to begin."
"I urge you all... to be courageous."
Ji Wan's voice was vast and resonant.
Upon seeing this, the others clasped their hands in a fist salute and said no more.
He turned to leave the hall.
Just as Xuanyin Wanshuang was about to leave, Ji Wan suddenly transmitted Ji Wan voice to her ear.
"Shuangmei, don't go. It's not easy for us to see each other."
Let's chat for a while.
Upon hearing this telepathic message, Xuanyin Wanshuang paused slightly.
It did not move again.
Soon, everyone left the main hall, including Li Taixuan.
Only Xuanyin Wanshuang and Ji Wan in the entire hall.
" Wan'er."
Xuanyin Wanshuang's face was cold and aloof.
She exuded an aloofness.
Only when addressing Ji Wan did his tone become warmer.
"Long time no see! How are you? Are you getting used to the Grand Yin Heaven?"
"It's alright, it's just that my cultivation has stalled. The fourth incarnation... I just can't seem to cultivate it."
Xuanyin Wanshuang responded to Ji Wan without any concealment.
She cultivates the path of reincarnation.
The ultimate goal of this life's cultivation lies in the realms of humans, earth, heaven, and the three immortals.
If one can achieve enlightenment after undergoing the tribulations of the three immortals, one can be reincarnated and start cultivating again.
With each reincarnation, one's inherent qualities and aptitude are strengthened once more.
After nine reincarnations, one can directly transcend the two realms of Profound Immortal and Golden Immortal, and directly attain the Taiyi and the true position of Immortal Venerable.
And there is a very high probability that they will be able to obtain proof from the Emperor Lord.
After all, the Reincarnation Method is the closest to the Great Dao method of attaining the status of Emperor Lord.
However, while this method possesses extraordinary power, it is also extremely dangerous.
One wrong move, and you'll fail in this life, with no chance of a next.
Just like in this life, she has already cultivated to the level of Heavenly Immortal, but she hasn't found even a sliver of an opportunity for reincarnation.
If things continue like this, she will either be trapped in this world and die, or she will break through to the Profound Immortal, and her Reincarnation Method will fail.
Thinking of the crisis in this world, Xuanyin Wanshuang fell silent for a moment.
After a long while, he suddenly raised his face, revealed a smile, and said as if chatting casually.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. What about you, Wan'er?"
"I heard your ninth incarnation didn't go smoothly? What happened?"
"And what about Li Taixuan...? He's not from this world, is he?"
