Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 415 The Throne of the Immortal Emperor
The former Frozen Continent is now the Azure Immortal Kingdom.

Beside Zijin Mountain, a fairyland was built.

In the Immortal Capital, the most conspicuous features are the nine towering ice peaks.

The Nine Heavens Ice Peaks, like a mountain range, form a continuous line, dividing the Immortal Capital into two sides.

The Immortal Capital stretches for thousands of miles, inhabited by countless cultivators and mortals.

Mu Mu's ancient immortal realm spiritual veins gradually evolved into seventh-order spiritual veins within them.

The evolving seventh-order spiritual veins, along with a large number of third- and fourth-order spiritual veins, make the spiritual energy in the Immortal Capital incredibly abundant.

The vast Immortal Capital is divided into two worlds by the existence of the Nine Heavens Ice Peak. One side is a vast expanse of ice and snow, covered with countless spiritual plants that thrive in the icy environment. The other side is spring-like all year round, with lush vegetation and numerous spiritual plant gardens encompassing several mountain ranges, as well as factory clusters covering tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of acres.

The entire capital city has developed over hundreds of years and is extremely prosperous.

At this moment, beneath an ice peak, within a sprawling complex of buildings, inside a massive palace, five people are discussing something.

These five people are Dongfang Hong, Mu Mu, Dajue Puppet No. 1 and No. 2, and the tree-person incarnation of Taichu Zixing.

"The position of Immortal Emperor not only allows me to control the defensive immortal array of Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom, but also provides a great boost to my cultivation path. Number One, can't you persuade the other Great Awakening Puppets to let me become the Immortal Emperor, even if it's just for one term?"

The throne is now vacant; what a waste!

Dongfanghong looked at Number One, her tone pleading.

It wasn't that Dongfang Hong coveted power; it was simply that the benefits of the Immortal Emperor's position far exceeded her expectations.

Now, she is one of the nine Heavenly Officials of the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom. After receiving the blessing of the Immortal Kingdom's national fortune, her comprehension, calculation ability, cultivation efficiency, and so on have increased by nearly a hundred times.

After the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom was formed, the formations of the individual immortal cities were connected to form the Qingzhou Immortal Formation. The entire formation could then unleash the power of immortal techniques.

The power of the immortal techniques was beyond the comprehension of Dongfang Hong and Mu Mu, and even Tai Chu Zi Xing, who single-handedly built the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom, found it hard to believe. As a result, Tai Chu Zi Xing specially created an avatar and occupied a position as a celestial official to prevent anyone from controlling the immortal array without her knowledge.

After the establishment of the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom, information about the Immortal Kingdom's architecture, such as the Inquiry Corridor, the Heavenly Ladder, the Enlightenment Platform, and the Inheritance Tower, which Dongfang Hong and others had only heard of but never seen in person, was inexplicably received by Taichu Zixing and the Great Awakening Puppet.

If the Nascent Soul Daoist temple of the Great Dao Nascent Soul receives the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, then the Immortal Kingdom architecture receives the knowledge of the ancient Immortal Kingdom that has already disappeared.

Knowledge can be inscribed in one's bloodline. The architecture of the Immortal Kingdom is actually derived from some hidden knowledge received from the bloodline of the Immortal Kingdom's human race.

Some knowledge of bloodlines can only be received by buildings in immortal kingdoms blessed by national fortune.

The buildings in the Immortal Kingdom can only be constructed in special locations.

And it just so happens that the Frozen Continent is the place where the "signal" can be received.

In other spirit realms, perhaps even the Qingzhou Grand Array couldn't be built, let alone the architecture of a celestial kingdom.

The unexpected information made Dongfang Hong, Mu Mu, Dajue Puppet, and Taichu Zixing value the interests of the Immortal Kingdom even more.

Although the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom was not large and the knowledge it provided was limited, it was still enough to shock Dongfang Hong and the others.

Leaving aside other immortal kingdom buildings, just take the Dao Inquiry Corridor, which even contains the inheritance of the Great Dao Nascent Soul.

The Great Dao Nascent Soul inheritance records knowledge related to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Few vessels in the world can bear it, and even intangible "language" cannot express it.

Generally speaking, only the celestial books born of heaven and earth can contain the Great Dao; nothing else can do so.

The Dao Corridor, however, can record the Great Dao and carry a lot of information that cannot be expressed or transmitted in words, such as immortal techniques and the supreme Dao body cultivated in this life.

This shows how attractive the information in the corridor was to Jinxiu.

Originally, after Dongfang Hong reached the Great Dao Golden Core stage, he found that cultivation had become extremely difficult.

For example, she had absolutely no idea how to transform the Golden Core Immortal City into a Nascent Soul Daoist temple.

It wasn't until the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom was built that Taichu Zixing received an unexpected inheritance of knowledge, and after completing the various buildings of the Immortal Kingdom, Dongfanghong finally had a direction to move forward.

Yi Dong received incomplete information, but Dongfang Hong, who entered the Dao Asking Corridor, knew that what Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom received was a portion of the knowledge inherited from the Dao Asking Corridor of the possibly extinct Ninth-Rank Immortal Kingdom—Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom.

Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom is a ninth-grade immortal kingdom that rules over three spirit realms and over a hundred mortal realms. Among the ancient immortal kingdoms, it is an inconspicuous alliance immortal kingdom.

However, a celestial kingdom is a celestial kingdom. Even a ninth-rank celestial kingdom has a complete lineage of top-tier figures such as celestial emperors and celestial officials.

Originally, if the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom hadn't been built, Dongfang Hong would have been content with just a simple Great Dao Nascent Soul inheritance.

However, now that she has become one of the nine Heavenly Officials, she knows more and has seen a large number of top-tier Dao Nascent Soul inheritances, so she wants to obtain something even better.

In the ancient immortal kingdom, countless immortal cultivation families stood at the pinnacle of the human race, and those immortal cultivation families that were able to establish a kingdom were the best among them.

For example, in the Qingyuan Zhao family of the Qingyuan Kingdom, only members of this family can become the Qingyuan Immortal Emperor.

The Zhao family of Qingyuan has many branches.

In the fourth-grade immortal kingdom of Jiuyuan, the Zhao family is a second-grade Heavenly Lord family, qualified to compete for the positions of one of the nine Heavenly Officials. In the second-grade immortal kingdom of Luotian, the Zhao family is a third-grade True Lord family, qualified to compete for the position of Domain Lord.

The most powerful branches of the Qingyuan Zhao family are the Jiuyuan Immortal Kingdom and the Luotian Immortal Kingdom. The other branches are scattered in other immortal kingdoms and are not very noticeable.

The knowledge from each branch lineage will continuously converge into the main lineage, filling the corridor of inquiry.

The core knowledge of the Zhao family can only be inherited and cultivated by Immortal Emperors.

In the current cultivation, the cultivation of Immortal Emperors and Immortal Officials are different, so their lineages are very different.

Immortal Emperors are the most powerful group of cultivators today. The Immortal Emperors of a First-Rank Immortal Kingdom may be stronger than Ninth-Rank Immortal Emperors in some aspects due to their immortal techniques.

However, a ninth-rank Immortal Emperor is most likely stronger than a first-rank Immortal Kingdom's Heavenly Official.

There wasn't originally such a significant difference between those who reached the Great Dao Nascent Soul stage. However, under different external factors, after cultivating for millions of years or even longer, the gap would gradually widen.

Leaving aside the number of immortal techniques constructed, let's just look at the difference in magical power.

A Celestial Emperor, in the same amount of time, may have tens of thousands of times more magical power than a Nascent Soul cultivator who relies on a seventh-order spiritual vein.

This is only one aspect of the advantages of being a Celestial Emperor.

In the ancient immortal kingdom, which has developed for countless years, the current cultivation system is already very mature.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator who has cultivated for a long time wants to defeat a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, it might take them decades or even centuries to analyze the opponent's Nascent Soul cultivation grounds, or to exhaust the opponent's mana to achieve victory.

However, if one is a Celestial Emperor, one can quickly design the necessary combination of celestial techniques, and then swiftly break through the opponent's supernatural powers and celestial techniques, entering the pursuit phase.

Because the Celestial Emperor has the blessing of the Celestial Kingdom, his computing power and comprehension are so great that they are beyond compare, even surpassing the level of a seventh-order being.

In the ancient immortal kingdom, the Immortal Emperor is the most powerful and the most suitable path for cultivation for modern cultivators. In fact, only by becoming an Immortal Emperor can one further elevate the bloodline of the immortal kingdom to a level comparable to or surpassing that of an ordinary true spirit.

It was precisely because Dongfang Hong knew that the Immortal Emperor had such great advantages that she pleaded with Number One.

Number One shook his head helplessly.

"it's out of the question.

Whether it was due to the establishment of the Immortal Kingdom or something strange about the place Yi Dong went to, the Great Awakening Puppets left behind all developed complete intelligence and were no different from humans.

Neither Number Two nor I could subdue them.

They could accept Yi Dong as the Immortal Emperor, but they would never obey anyone else. Not even Nameless or me could command them.

Currently, the most powerful group in the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom is the Great Awakening Puppet.

The remaining Great Awakening Puppets, with the help of the Immortal Kingdom's knowledge and resources, rapidly improved, each reaching the equivalent of a Bodhisattva at the Void Returning stage. Moreover, the Great Awakening Puppets, having accumulated knowledge of the Immortal Kingdom over the years, could be considered modern cultivators, and to some extent, were even stronger than ancient cultivators at the Void Returning stage.

The Ice Dragon clan was defeated and subdued by the Great Awakening Puppet.

After the Ice Dragon Clan teleported Yi Dong away, they believed that the human race on the Frozen Continent was leaderless and that it was time to reclaim the Frozen Continent. They then gathered all the forces they could and attacked the Frozen Continent.

Unfortunately, after Yi Dong's departure, the Dajue puppets began to show their fangs, no longer remotely controlling warships from the rear as before, but going to the front lines to fight personally.

The supernatural powers of the Karma Puppet can be obtained from the void inexplicably, while the Great Awakening Puppet, after studying the knowledge of the Immortal Kingdom, has acquired supernatural powers that are no less than those of the Karma Puppet.

After the establishment of the Immortal Kingdom, as the Great Awakening Puppets successively advanced to the Bodhisattva realm, nearly ten thousand Great Awakening Puppets descended onto the battlefield, using supernatural powers, formations, warships, combined magical artifacts, and other means to annihilate the demon race under the Ice Dragon's command.

In other words, the Ice Dragons, being true spirits, are extremely resilient, which is why they can be injured one by one without dying.

Later, the Great Awakening Puppet invited the Ice Dragon Clan to be the guardian beast of the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom.

After witnessing the power of the Great Awakening Puppet, the Ice Dragon Clan realized that unless they found external assistance from other spirit realms or even the Immortal Realm in the void, it would be impossible to reclaim the Frozen Continent.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to expect to find a large number of true dragons to help reclaim a continent.

Of course, if the Ice Dragon Clan wanted to escape, the Great Awakening Puppet couldn't do anything to them. However, once they escaped, the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, the Ice Dragon Clan's most precious treasure, would be unusable.

Therefore, the Ice Dragon Clan accepted the invitation from the Great Awakening Puppet.

The Nine Heavens Ice Peak is equivalent to the seventh-order spiritual vein of a True Immortal who has reached the Dao. The Ice Dragon Clan can become stronger even while sleeping on the Nine Heavens Ice Peak.

Without the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, the Ice Dragon Clan might have to fly into the void to find other spirit realms to grow in.

In general, the Great Awakening Puppet Group is currently in charge of the Qingzhou Immortal Kingdom. Even Tai Chu Zi Xing, the "chief architect" of the Immortal Kingdom, is not as powerful as the Great Awakening Puppet Group.

Dongfang Hong glanced at Number One, then at Number Two, Taichu Zixing, and Mumu, and sighed inwardly.

Knowing that none of the people present wanted to become Immortal Emperors, because becoming an Immortal Emperor would allow them to control the Immortal Array, which would disrupt the current balance.

"Then let's find Yi Dong as soon as possible."
