Born with immortal seed

Chapter 846 The Spirit Beast That Teaches Its Master

During the heyday of the Daoist Court, the nine immortal realms and all the myriad worlds would offer up their most precious treasures.

They even consider it an honor to be selected into the Celestial Palace, as their value increases several times over once selected.

Every nine hundred years, the gates of the Nine Heavens open to the palace, and all races, in their finest attire, pay homage to the emperor, marking a first-rate golden age in the mortal realm.

Even the most powerful alien races that have achieved the Fusion Realm must lower their proud heads in the Nine Heavens and obediently wait to be received by the Heavenly Emperor under the arrangement of the Nascent Soul disciples.

Since the Heavenly Emperor disappeared, various races began to harbor rebellious intentions, and the divine offerings they presented became increasingly untimely.

Nowadays, they can only receive celestial blessings from the two or three celestial realms that still hold a dominant position, as well as from some universes outside the real world.

Moreover, the scene where the combined power of the nine immortal realms and all the myriad worlds appeared in the Nine Heavens is impossible to repeat.

The celestial offerings presented to the gods are of increasingly lower rank.

Even when they discovered rare and precious objects from the beginning of time, they dared not keep them to themselves and had to hand them over to the Daoist court in a humble manner.

Unlike what's being sent now, which can only be described as scrap metal.

The loss of the Immortal's Blessings was not only a loss of cultivation resources, but also a heavy slap in the face to the Daoist court.

This is the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, considered the most secure rear area of ​​the Dao Court.

That's why there's only one person at the peak of the Void Refinement stage leading the team; there's no need to send out a stronger lineup.

"My sixth brother managed to explain clearly before fainting. They were a rebel army in the Nine Sky Wasteland. They had been besieged and suppressed by the local guards many times, but they always managed to rise from the ashes."

The Star Lord Yi Suan had deep eyes and a gloomy face; his otherwise handsome appearance was overshadowed by the hardships he had endured.

"This time, they acquired some new forces from somewhere. It's a strange combination of a man, a woman, and a dragon. Their cultivation level isn't high, but their abilities are extremely strange. Sixth Brother was caught off guard and ambushed, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"I will set off personally. As long as we can retrieve Xianlu in the shortest possible time, things will not slide into an irreversible abyss."

Si Ming Xing Jun listened to the entire process without saying a word and made a decision without the slightest hesitation.

“There is a famous purple-armored commander in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm who fought alongside me in Tianyuan for a hundred years. We have a deep friendship… I believe he will give me face and provide the necessary support.”

“I will write another letter by hand. Please deliver it to Immortal Lord Nine Spirits and ask him to intervene so that the matter does not directly reach the Three Judicial Offices.”

The six stars of the Southern Dipper all share the same lineage, and as the eldest, the Star Lord of Fate certainly couldn't stand idly by while his younger brother was sent to the execution platform.

He immediately mobilized his network of connections to try and show leniency to the God of Life.

As soon as he finished speaking, he spread out his left hand, and a seven-colored stream of light dispersed. A precious book floated up, wrapped around the Star Lord of Destiny, and transformed into colorful light, flying out of the Ninth Heaven.

It vanished into the void in a flash.

"My second brother will go with me to visit Lord Jiuling, while the rest of you will take care of my sixth brother."

The Star Lord of Benefiting Calculation picked up a palm leaf that had floated to the ground and called upon the Star Lord of Fortune.

Although he ranks low among the six stars of the Southern Dipper, he is recognized as the most accurate predictor of fate, with unparalleled divine calculation skills. When the Star Lord of Fate is absent, he takes the lead.

The group nodded silently. The Southern Dipper Six Palaces had always been dominated by their lineage, and they were closely connected, making them a considerable force within the Daoist court.

Having enjoyed all the benefits in the past, they naturally have to share the responsibility when things go wrong.

……

The Three Realms of Immortals, the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Gate hangs high, a magnificent palace of glazed tiles stands, and a cassia tree grows in the pond, its golden leaves falling to create dappled shadows that obscure the moon.

This osmanthus tree is taller than all the stars, exuding a cool and refreshing aura.

From its inception, the Heavenly Palace has learned from the Dao Court in every way, from organizational structure to headquarters construction.

However, the Nine Heavens were built by the Heavenly Emperor, and even if the founder of the Heavenly Palace was powerful, he could not have accomplished a similar feat.

As a second choice, they built a celestial palace on a moonlit star.

Its founder was the Jade Emperor, who held the highest position and was the most powerful among the Six Emperors of the Daoist Court.

Even after establishing his own sect, he still dared not overstep the bounds and assume the title of Heavenly Emperor, only daring to use the honorific title of Supreme Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven.

After recruiting a significant number of members from the Dao Court, it developed rapidly and is the one with the shortest history among the top forces in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

In terms of strength, they are slightly ahead of the others.

No one knows how many cultivators in the vast and ancient Daoist court are loyal to the Heavenly Palace and could betray the Dao at any moment.

Ten thousand years ago, there was even a time when Gouchen Heavenly Venerable was bewitched and went to seek refuge with his treasure.

This has resulted in the existence of two Gouchen Celestial Venerables in the Immortal Realm, becoming a great disgrace to the Daoist Court.

"Is the news true?"

Inside the Five Qi Hall, two cultivators stood on either side, both wearing tall hats and ancient robes, with ancient and simple faces.

His feathered robes fluttered in the wind, giving him an air of ethereal immortality.

The man on the left, who was asking the question, was entirely crimson, even his beard and hair were deep red, with wisps of flame rising and falling.

The female cultivator on the right had an ordinary appearance, but a noble air that made people unconsciously overlook her looks. Her face was covered by the tassels of her crown.

Her feathered robe was azure, and with a slight lift of her wrist, the sound of rippling blue water could be heard.

"It is undoubtedly true; it is top-secret intelligence leaked by spies in Langyuan City... Only a few people know about this news at present, and the guards have placed all those involved under house arrest."

This female cultivator is the Water Virtue True Lord of the Heavenly Palace, an absolute high-ranking official.

The Heavenly Palace and the Daoist Court are mortal enemies, but they are from the same root and origin. Many people on both sides were once fellow disciples and close comrades.

Despite their general disagreements, their personal relationship remains unchanged.

The reason why the Daoist court is so wary of the Heavenly Palace is because it is too attractive to its members.

Even You Gaogong had spies from the Heavenly Palace by his side, which speaks volumes.

"Do you know which side the rebels are from? The teams we supported in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm were all useless, some were wiped out by the Armored Guards and others were scattered... Those who could stand up and defeat the Upper Star Lord to seize the Immortal Blessing have been tested in terms of both strength and attitude towards the Dao Court, and can be given special attention."

The man in the crimson robe sitting opposite him was the Fire Virtue True Lord, one of the Five True Lords of the Heavenly Palace, renowned for his combat prowess.

Even at the Void Refining stage, he was known as the God of War, undefeated across multiple realms, fighting against star beasts, alien races, ancient beasts, and Daoist cultivators.

He even had a record of successfully escaping from the hands of a powerful being at the Fusion Realm, and spent more than ten years escaping back to the Three Enclosures Immortal Realm from the Six Blessings Immortal Realm.

A hundred years ago, he had just advanced to the Integration Stage and gained control of the Fire Element. It was the time when he was at his most proud and ambitious, given his explosive temper.

"It's not easy to ask about the specifics. It's not easy to turn such a high-ranking Daoist cultivator into a defection. We can't increase his risk of exposure by sending him information multiple times for one matter... But according to my guess, it's very likely that it was one of the few smuggled cultivators from the lower realms who made the Qingxuan Palace Master return empty-handed a few years ago."

Based on the information at hand, Shui De Zhenjun made a reasonable guess.

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a person to suddenly appear without us having received any prior notice."

"Has anyone been sent to contact them and lure them into the Heavenly Palace?"

The Fire Virtue True Lord was in high spirits. The biggest difference between the Heavenly Palace and the Dao Court, besides their fundamental foundation, was the source of fresh blood.

As the supreme power that once truly ruled over all realms and races, even though the Heavenly Emperor transcended and split into two factions, leaving many important divine positions vacant, the influence of the Dao Court still reigns supreme in the Immortal Realm.

Especially in those outer worlds, vassal minor worlds, and middle worlds, the first goal of every ascendant is to join the Daoist court.

This has become a deeply ingrained principle among cultivators: the farther away one is from the main world of the Nine Immortal Realms, the deeper the influence.

If the Heavenly Palace wants to snatch people, it's no match for the Dao Court, let alone the other top powers.

"We have already dispatched four duty officers to travel there in a starship, hoping to meet the person in question... Such an ascended cultivator is someone that even a Great Emperor might be able to spare the time to meet."

Water Virtue True Lord is meticulous in his work and has arranged everything in advance.

"That's good. If things don't go well and they're intercepted by the guards, be sure to notify me immediately so I can personally bring these people back to the Three Realms Immortal Domain!"

Huo De Zhenjun laughed heartily, delighted to see the Daoist court suffer a setback.

His grandmaster was one of the earliest members of the Heavenly Palace who defected from the Daoist Court, and his master died tragically during the Daoist Court's siege of the Heavenly Palace.

The hatred in my heart cannot be washed away even by the waters of the seven seas.

……

"You mean, the Yin-Yang Eyes of the Candle Dragon have an even more advanced cultivation method?"

Bai Zichen exclaimed in shock, "These days, even your natal spirit beast can guide your cultivation!"

“That’s right. When I woke up this time, I searched through my sea of ​​consciousness several times and was even able to consciously select books from the library… The cultivation techniques that my master practiced left the deepest impression on me. I subconsciously selected them while I was in a deep sleep.”

Gun Gun probably hasn't been sleeping well these days; his two big dark circles under his eyes are even deeper and wider.

"When the Candle Dragon opens its eyes, it is daytime; when it closes its eyes, it is nighttime. Its breath becomes the wind. Its body is more than ten thousand miles long. It is a true spirit that was born before the separation of Yin and Yang in the world. It was mainly active several eras ago... It had already disappeared before the birth of Taiyi, the first Mahayana True Immortal of the human race. It is unknown whether it completely went into seclusion or transcended to a higher world."

"This Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes technique was created by the Dragon Clan based on the True Spirit murals that have been passed down. The highest aspiration is naturally to reach the level of the Candle Dragon's eyes. However, unless one has a wisp of the Candle Dragon's breath, one can never touch the edge of the True Spirit. At most, one can only have the form but not the essence."

Rolling around with its legs spread wide, it lay on the ground in a silly manner, and began to speak the most serious content.

"Of course, the relics of the True Spirit of Zhulong could not survive in the world. The alternative suggested by the Demon God Bai Ze was to dig out the eyes of the seventh-order Ananda Dragon King and refine them to barely achieve one-hundredth of the effect of Zhulong's Yin-Yang Eyes."

Bai Zichen looked Gun Gun up and down, making it feel uneasy: "You mean, you want your master to storm into the Heavenly Demon Realm, take down a seventh-tier dragon king, and then strengthen this divine power?"

"It doesn't necessarily have to be done by myself; it's also possible to buy the sealed eyes of the Dragon King Ananda from someone else."

Gun Gun seemed to realize that his words were unrealistic, and quietly added a sentence.

"Nonsense. Have you learned any other demonic techniques or supernatural abilities? Please let me know."

Bai Zichen discarded it like worn-out shoes, but secretly remembered it in his heart.

The help that the Yin-Yang Eyes of the Candle Dragon brought him was almost second only to the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword.

Having the opportunity to advance further and reach the level of unparalleled supernatural power in the combined realm, how could one so easily give it up?
