I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 712 The Spirit of Tianyu, Respectfully Welcomed into the Palace

Constant starlight, reversing the immortal spirit.

In just a moment, the "world order" above that little star changed.

The Immortal Path once again reigns supreme over the star field.

"It can stabilize all things and measure the heavens and earth; it is truly a superior immortal foundation."

"Not bad."

Upon seeing this, Master Xunfeng stroked his beard and smiled, revealing a look of satisfaction.

As an immortal under a thousand years old, he was certain that Gu Yuan must have extraordinary abilities and a powerful immortal foundation, but now that he had actually seen this superior immortal foundation, he was still overjoyed.

After all, a superior immortal foundation is something that can only be encountered by chance. If one can achieve a superior foundation, there is a greater chance of climbing to the Great Luo realm, and one can also widen the gap between oneself and many other spirits in the corners of the heavens.

"Junior Nephew's immortal foundation is indeed quite good, but it is a constant one and lacks the power to kill or destroy immortal beings. If he encounters various dangerous situations, he may not be able to handle it. In my opinion, it would be better to summon the other candidates and let them compete on the same stage. Whoever has the strongest skills will be appointed to the position."

But at that moment, the Thunderfire Immortal Lord suddenly spoke again, smiling and asking the Xunfeng Ancestor.

"enough!"

"They are already immortals, yet they still engage in mortal combat techniques?"

Upon hearing this, Master Xunfeng shook his head and refused, his tone cold.

This time, the young man Yu Xu, dressed in plain clothes with wide sleeves, did not speak, clearly acquiescing to the words of Ancestor Xunfeng.

"Although we are immortals, we were also ascended from the mortal realm, so it is not surprising that we have conflicts among mortals."

Seeing this, the Thunderfire Immortal Lord smiled and responded, but did not speak again.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, Ancestor Xunfeng sent Gu Yuan and the others back to the Twenty-Second Heaven from the outer starry sky.

This is not a magical technique, but a real teleportation of the void. However, even with Gu Yuan's current level of cultivation, it is difficult for him to discover how it was done so quickly and without any trace of human intervention.

"Donghua, you ascended from Xuanhuang, condensed a superior immortal foundation, stabilized heaven and earth. According to the rules of the Heavenly Palace, you should be appointed as the Hall Master of Shoudou Shu Hall, a fourth-rank immortal, in charge of conquering [Jinhai Star].

"Let's record the immortal's name!"

Ancestor Xunfeng spoke in a loud voice, his words carrying the Heavenly Mandate. Then, the fairy maiden who had previously held the Immortal Record reappeared, offering a jade pen and presenting it to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan did as instructed, took the jade pen, and wrote his name on the Immortal Record.

"clang!"

In an instant, the void trembled slightly, and a mysterious immortal power flowed. Gu Yuan felt a "power" anchoring him, and he seemed to have an inseparable connection with the entire Heavenly Palace.

It seems that no matter where I am, I will never lose my sense of the Heavenly Palace.

Furthermore, a mysterious power flowed through his body, seemingly able to shield him from all calamities, and a strong sense of peace welled up in his heart.

"Congratulations, Immortal Brother, on obtaining another fourth-rank celestial official position."

Seeing this, the Thunderfire Immortal Lord sighed, his tone wistful, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Seeing him leave, Master Xunfeng showed no expression, but looked at Gu Yuan with a smile in his eyes: "Your immortal position has been granted. Go to the Ascension Platform and collect your immortal token."

"Yes, Hall Master!"

Upon hearing this, the White Dew Immortal, who had remained silent until now, bowed first.

Gu Yuan then bowed and followed behind Immortal Bailu as they slowly walked out of the Hall of Immortal Bestowal.

"A fourth-rank immortal, from now on I shall address you as Palace Master Immortal."

After leaving the Hall of Immortal Appreciation, Immortal Bailu finally spoke with a smile.

"Disciples don't dare."

Gu Yuan bowed slightly, smiled, and shook his head.

"Why don't you dare?"

"They've all become immortals, how can they all still call themselves patriarchs?"

“Normally, in the Heavenly Palace, people address each other by their celestial titles. Otherwise, if everyone from different families and lineages called each other ‘ancestor,’ wouldn’t that be chaotic?”

The White Dew Immortal shook his head.

"But in private, the patriarch is the patriarch."

Gu Yuan smiled slightly and did not change his mind.

"You, you're actually quite the smooth talker!"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Bailu smiled wryly, but nodded slightly: "In public, we naturally address each other by our immortal titles, but among immortals of the same lineage, there is no need to be so polite. In private, we can address each other according to our respective seniority."

However, Immortal Bailu added, "After all, those who have achieved mastery in cultivation are teachers, even immortals. Apart from the direct lineage of master, disciple, and grandmaster, if a junior's immortal rank surpasses that of their predecessor, they should still be respected."

“This disciple will naturally understand.”

Gu Yuan smiled slightly.

Immortal Bailu nodded slightly, and in the midst of their conversation, the two had already crossed the jade bridge and arrived at the place where the cloud carriage had been before. The two boarded the cloud carriage.

After boarding the cloud carriage, the White Dew cultivator smiled and said, "You've just arrived at the Heavenly Palace and already encountered the three lineage patriarch immortals vying for supremacy. Are you puzzled?"

Gu Yuan nodded: "I do have doubts, please enlighten me, Master."

Immortal Bailu sighed softly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that immortals also have seven emotions and six desires, and they all want to obtain the Great Luo Dao Fruit. Over time, this has led to some disputes."

"For tens of thousands of years, my Heavenly Palace has been advancing without ceasing, and immortal techniques have emerged one after another. In addition to the supreme power, it is also closely related to the conquest of the outer stars."

Like lightning, the cloud chariot plummeted down from the twenty-second heaven and flew towards the second heaven. But before the cloud chariot, a huge star field map was clearly displayed.

"My Heavenly Palace transcends the realms beyond, not an ordinary dwelling standing in the void, but an independent place, surpassing all stars."

"But the myriad stars beyond the realm still exist."

"These great stars are either desolate or surging."

"There are stars that are filled with crimson flames, stars that are covered with frost, stars that are shrouded in clouds and mist for millions of years, and stars that are never short of immortal herbs and precious mines... and so on."

"The Eight Stars of Chenhui were selected from among the myriad stars to serve as pillars of heaven. The Supreme Being used his great power to create heaven and earth and support the Heavenly Palace, thus achieving complete transcendence."

“These eight stars are unique and completely different from ordinary large stars; they are the place where living beings are created.”

"But besides these, there are many stars standing in the vast sky, many of which have unique things that immortals can cultivate with, and some even have the Dao principles that can nurture immortal seals and create various laws."

"The conquest of the stars is the responsibility of the eight halls under the [Celestial Battle Division]."

"The Dou Shu Hall, which you are in charge of, is one of the eight halls. The newly discovered Jin Hai Star by the Tian Xing Division is being conquered by the Dou Shu Hall."

"This is a superior celestial star. All kinds of rare treasures can be found within the core of such stars."

"According to the rules of the Heavenly Palace, unless there is an extremely important matter, we have the right to act expediently when it comes to conquering alien planets."

"In other words, the quantity and quality of such rare treasures are almost entirely determined by the Palace Master's word."

"Although this job is a bit arduous, it is a top-notch and desirable position, coveted by everyone in the Eight Meridians."

"The Thunderfire Immortal Lord comes from the Crimson Cloud Immortal Lineage, and the Primordial Immortal Lord comes from the Jade Cauldron Immortal Lineage. The two of them, along with the Ancestor, are the three hall masters of the Immortal Ascension Hall. After all, the Immortal Ascension Hall holds a very high position and great power, and controls the immortal positions of all immortals. It is only possible to have a consensus among the members."

"The two immortal lords had long ago selected two immortals from the Azure Sea, brought them under their wing, and were vying for this position."

"Although the Ancestor is the head of the Three Palace Masters, all the immortals under my Linchuan Sect have important positions and it is not appropriate to make a move lightly. The Biyou Immortal from the Immortal Sea, whom the Ancestor chose, is not able to compete with the other two Immortal Lords. Originally, I was not planning to seek this position. However, I did not expect that after the [Heavenly Star Division] suddenly learned that you were going to become an immortal, the Ancestor secretly suppressed this selection and waited for you to ascend."

"Now it seems that the patriarch's plan was far-sighted; everything was just right..."

"With this celestial position, you will have a solid foundation for your cultivation in the Heavenly Palace."

The White Dew Immortal pointed to the enormous star map and explained its intricacies in detail.

"So that's how it is. I have no way to repay the kindness of my ancestor." Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan immediately cupped his hands towards the sky and said with emotion.

Golden Crow Immortal Bones, Master of the Dou Shu Palace.

Everything stems from its origins.

Linchuan really treated him well.

"Haha, we are naturally unable to repay the kindness of our ancestors, but we will not leave them without any thanks."

The White Dew Immortal suddenly smiled meaningfully.

"Disciple, don't worry."

Gu Yuan understood the implied meaning and immediately complied with a smile.

Since the patriarch secured the position of the Hall Master of the Dou Shu Palace for him, if he obtains any treasures during the conquest of the [Jin Hai Star], he will inevitably have to offer them as tribute.

Today's appointment made Gu Yuan understand.

Although the Heavenly Palace is located beyond the heavens, above all the stars, and the immortals are all incredibly powerful, they still have the seven emotions and six desires, human relationships and worldly wisdom, and the divisions of the eight meridians. In fact, in order to climb the path to immortality, they may not be as united as they are in the human world.

After all, when the Eight Families existed in the mortal realm, each of them suppressed a province, which meant they had separated and were no longer sharing the same resources.

But now that they are both under the rule of the Heavenly Palace, they eat from the same pot, so conflict is probably inevitable.

However, Gu Yuan also knew that immortals were, after all, transcendent beings, and even if there were any disputes, they should be disputes among immortals and would not cause any major trouble.

After all, the Great Luo Ancestor still suppresses everything in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Gu Yuan suddenly remembered what Ancestor Xunfeng had mentioned before, and asked curiously, "May I ask, Ancestor, what is the meaning of the so-called Immortal Sea Land and the Spirit of the Heavenly Corner?"

He had heard this word several times.

The celestial being represented by this term seems to be his rival?
Upon hearing this, Immortal Bailu laughed and said, "There's no need to worry."

"The so-called spirits of the corner of the sky are a collective term for the creatures of the Immortal Sea. The Immortal Sea is the mortal realm under the rule of the Heavenly Palace, but it is a land free from calamity."

"When beings in this world break through their cultivation realm, there will be no heavenly tribulation. Therefore, their cultivation is extremely fast. Even if they ascend to the Heavenly Palace and become immortals, the 'immortal tribulation' they experience is much smaller than the tribulations we have experienced."

Gu Yuan immediately raised an eyebrow.

No need to undergo tribulation?

Wouldn't spiritual practice then be a natural progression?

However, judging from Master Xunfeng's words, without further questioning, he knew that there must be drawbacks in this being's cultivation.

As expected, Immortal Bailu continued, "Although they cultivate extremely quickly, they do not experience tribulations or undergo the tempering of metal, fire, and thunder. They are like porcelain, beautiful but fragile."

"Most of the immortal foundations they have condensed are of low grade, very few can condense of mid-grade immortal foundations, and high-grade immortal foundations are almost impossible."

"Moreover, even if they are exceptionally talented, they will not be able to condense a Dao Fruit and break through to the Great Luo realm after they embark on cultivation."

"Of course, achieving the Jade Void Realm is extremely difficult, and the chances are incredibly slim."

"Moreover, the further one progresses in cultivation, the less capable they become compared to us. At most, they are at the Azure Wandering Realm, which is enough to put them in a fight against us."

"Those who live in a remote corner of the world find it difficult to attain the Dao fruit. Therefore, they are collectively referred to as the spirits of the corner of the world. Although there are many of them and they occupy many immortal positions, let alone the fourth rank, even the fifth rank is extremely rare."

Immortal Bailu shook his head slightly, clearly not thinking highly of him.

The true lineage of the Heavenly Palace is ultimately the direct descendant of Xuanhuang.

"However, among them, there are also some proud and arrogant individuals who are willing to give up their arduous cultivation, reincarnate into the Xuanhuang realm, undergo the Heavenly Tribulation again, and rebuild their foundation."

"But because of the previous ascension, the Heavenly Palace did not allow reincarnation. Now that the Heavenly Pillar has temporarily collapsed, many celestial beings from the corners of the heavens have taken this opportunity to reincarnate."

"But only after becoming an immortal can one unravel the mystery of the womb. This is extremely difficult, and there are probably very few who succeed. It is unlikely that we will see one in the short term."

But at the end, the White Dew Immortal added a secret, his tone wistful.

In the land of immortals, a celestial being from a remote corner of the heavens, reincarnated and cultivating anew?

Gu Yuan suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

While the two were talking, Yun Nianchengxing had already descended from the 22nd Heaven and entered the 2nd Heaven.

The second heaven is not as austere and desolate as the twenty-second heaven. Many clouds and rosy clouds fly back and forth, creating waves of cloud, making this vast and boundless heavenly palace more lively.

However, most of the people coming and going were not immortals, but rather a number of celestial officials, celestial maidens, heavenly soldiers, and Daoist boys. They all had the appearance of celestial beings, each with their own beauty, and their jade pendants jingled. They wore wide robes and long sleeves, and each of them rode the clouds and mist, truly resembling immortals.

But upon seeing the White Dew Immortal's cloud carriage, they all stopped, bowed, and paid their respects.

"Besides managing the ascension of the new and old Nine Realms, all living beings who need to enter the Heavenly Palace must go through the Ascension Platform, including those living beings obtained from conquering extraterrestrial stars."

"Just recently, Douyuan Palace conquered [Fire Kirin Star] and obtained many extraterrestrial Qilin. They are of pure blood and can travel across star regions. They are favored by many celestial officials and soldiers of the Heavenly Palace. Therefore, all the palaces want to raise them. These celestial officials were ordered to come and deal with this matter."

"When you obtain the Immortal Tokens, and the officials of the Dou Shu Palace come to greet you, I can give you two to reward your subordinate immortal officials."

The White Dew Immortal continued his journey through the clouds, but he answered Gu Yuan's questions with a smile.

Gu Yuan bowed slightly, not standing on ceremony, as a way of thanking him.

The cloud chariot stretched across the sky, and before long, it crossed the Taiwei Heaven and arrived at the center of this heaven.

A burst of rosy light and auspicious clouds transformed into dragons, revealing a cluster of golden palaces stretching like mountains, perched high in the sky.

The celestial officials coming and going from all directions immediately stopped upon seeing the White Dew Immortal's cloud carriage, bowed, and shouted, "Welcome back to the palace, Immortal!"

The Rainbow Bridge soared up from the main hall, and the guiding cloud chariot rushed straight into the hall.

"Welcome to the palace master!"

Inside this hall, there were six celestial officials, who were prostrate on the jade tables on the left and right, writing furiously. Judging from their cultivation level, they were all Biyou Immortals.

However, Gu Yuan felt that its aura was quite different from his own, giving off a feeling of being neither a celestial nor an immortal.

"Bring me the Ascension Token!"

With a wave of his sleeve, the Immortal Bailu summoned a celestial official who respectfully presented a jade tablet to the two of them.

"With this token, no matter where you are, as long as your immortal foundation remains intact, you can return to the Heavenly Palace with a single thought."

"But remember, you must not enter the mortal realm. If you wish to enter the mortal realm, you must have the immortal inscription of the Great Luo Palace, and then enter my Ascension Palace through the passage of the Ascension Platform."

The cultivator Bailu pointed to the jade tablet and solemnly warned.

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Gu Yuan took the jade token. Without needing to refine it, a mysterious immortal power descended into the entire palace, anchoring him.

Regardless of the star or region, as long as the Immortal Token is activated, one can return to the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace surpasses all stars and is omnipresent.

Just as Gu Yuan entered the hall, his name suddenly appeared on a book of immortal records on the jade table.

The Immortal Ranks!
This is a list of immortals!
Normally, being admitted to the ranks of immortals involves a ritual that is quite complicated. If one is not from Linchuan, one might even be treated coldly.

Gu Yuan, however, did not have such worries and kept everything simple.

"I've obtained the Immortal Token; judging by the time, it's about time..."

With the Immortal Record complete, the White Dew Immortal smiled.

"The Ten Celestial Officials and Thirty Merit Officers of the Dou Shu Palace respectfully invite the Celestial Scholar to return to the Palace!"

Just then, a grand and respectful voice suddenly came from outside the Ascension Hall. Gu Yuan's heart stirred, and he looked out of the hall. He saw ten immortals dressed in blue robes, who were clearly immortals of the Azure Wanderer Realm, leading thirty white-robed immortal officials and countless fairy maidens and heavenly soldiers, riding on auspicious seven-colored clouds, coming in a grand procession.
