The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 355 Deceit and Treachery, Backstabbing the Heavenly Emperor (First Update)

"The Immortal Elder does indeed intend for the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds to succeed him."

After the Five Viscera Immortal Lord responded, the Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord slowly confirmed the rumor.

The Five Visceral Immortals showed only slight surprise, but in reality, their hearts were filled with turbulent waves.

Who would have thought that Yang, who was originally "unknown" in the immortal realm, would be so highly regarded by the immortal elder, entrusted with important responsibilities, and succeed him?

"Why does the Immortal Elder want to pass on the position to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds? Is it really as rumored...?" The Five Viscera Immortal Lord immediately raised his question.

What is this rumor? It's probably that in the last great war between immortals and demons, the Immortal Elder and one of the Heavenly Demon Kings of the Heavenly Demon Realm were both severely injured, and now he is likely to die from his injuries.

The Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord immediately denied it, saying, "The Immortal Elder has already achieved his Daoist cultivation and will transcend all realms, but the Immortal Realm cannot be without a master, which is why we invited the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds to succeed him."

The Five Visceral Immortal Lord felt shocked after shocked, as each piece of news was bigger than the last.

The immortal is about to transcend the Three Realms, so he won't play around with these "mortals" anymore, right?

I wonder if the Immortal Elder took the Heavenly Demon Realm with him before he left, otherwise these minor figures would find it difficult to resist the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

After all, that Heavenly Demon King was able to fight the Immortal Elder to a draw, so how could these old, weak, and disabled soldiers possibly contend with him?

"Explain something to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds: I am willing to support him in succeeding to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor," said the Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord.

The Five Visceral Immortal Lord quickly scanned the Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord's face to make sure he had no intention of testing him. He then asked a few more questions before letting out a sigh of relief and saying, "I can try to find him on behalf of the Heavenly Lord, but I cannot guarantee that I can make contact with him."

The Five Visceral Immortal Lord still dared not speak too definitively, lest there be any hidden conspiracy or scheme behind it.

The Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord simply nodded slightly and then saw the guest out of the hall.

This Heavenly Lord has always been this way; everyone in the Immortal Realm knows it. He doesn't like to interact with people.

Therefore, it was already quite difficult to get to meet the Five Visceral Immortals this time.

After leaving the Seven Emotions Immortal Palace, the Five Organs Immortal Lord returned to his own Five Organs Immortal Temple.

He had only traveled three thousand miles on his celestial magnetic escape light when he was stopped by a talisman.

This Heavenly Magnetic Escape Light was created by the Immortal Elder in the Immortal Realm using great supernatural powers and methods. Ordinary True Immortals can use it to break through the speed of light.

Of course, the Five Visceral Immortal Lord did not increase his escape speed to that extent; it was only a hundred times faster than the speed of sound.

But this is not something that an ordinary person can stop.

Therefore, even the Five Visceral Immortals couldn't get angry when they saw this talisman.

After all, it was issued by another Heavenly Emperor.

His title was the Lord of the Six Desires, and he was also a first-rank celestial official.

His cultivation was similar to that of the Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord, reaching the realm of the Mysterious Immortal.

The Five Visceral Immortals had no choice but to accept the invitation and fly away to the Six Desires Heaven Palace.

However, the information obtained from the Six Desires Heavenly Palace was no different from that from the Seven Emotions Immortal Palace. The Six Desires Heavenly Lord also approved of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds entering the Immortal Realm, and also had no extra requirements.

Having received the order, the Five Visceral Immortals naturally continued their journey to the Two Realms Platform in the Immortal Realm.

But several heavenly rulers stopped him.

All told, there were a total of twenty-three Heavenly Lords, including four First-Rank Celestial Officials, twelve Second-Rank Celestial Officials, and seven Third-Rank Celestial Officials, basically sweeping up all the high-ranking officials of the Celestial Realm.

They all said they were happy to see the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds enter the Immortal Realm, but some of them had some minor requests.

These words will also be relayed to the mortal realm by the Five Visceral Immortals.

Thus, the Five Visceral Immortals also understood one thing.

The higher-ups in the Immortal Realm have largely agreed that the Immortal Elder will pass on the position of the Immortal Realm Ruler to Yang, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

Therefore, he was able to descend to the mortal realm smoothly and meet the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

"Yang, all the Heavenly Lords of the Celestial Realm have asked me to pass on a message to you," the Five Organs Immortal Lord said with a smile in the hall.

Their relationship has always been very close, and even though they are separated by two worlds, their communication has never stopped.

Many people are unaware of this.

"What did you say?" Yang sat up straight and faced him.

Once the Immortal Elder has spoken, nothing can be taken back. So it was destined that he would become the Heavenly Emperor. But once he became the Heavenly Emperor, he was very likely to become all alone. So he had been thinking about how to take over the huge forces in the Immortal Realm.

He was well aware that he was too inexperienced and would find it difficult to gain the respect of the masses.

But to his surprise, he gained the approval of all the Heavenly Lords of the Celestial Realm without doing anything.

He certainly didn't think he possessed any domineering aura that would command respect from all sides, so there was only one possibility.

That was because the immortal elder had persuaded them first.

That's why he gained their approval so easily.

"I can agree to any conditions they set," Yang said, trying to show off his magnanimity.

The Five Visceral Immortals naturally shook their heads; there were only a handful of Heavenly Lords who had such requirements.

In the end, he still wanted to warn Yang Xiao about the Heavenly Lord who had not yet stepped forward.

"Although they say they are willing to take you into the Immortal Realm, it's hard to say what will happen once the Immortal Elder transcends..."

Even so, the meaning behind these words is self-evident.

"I know."

"I know."

Yang withdrew his memories and sat quietly in the hall, awaiting the decree from the celestial elders.

He waited and waited, but the Immortal Elder never summoned him.

He was awaiting the summons, and all the immortals in the celestial realm were also waiting for this news.

However, it was strange that there was no news for so long.

Could it be that the Immortal Elder's decree has been changed?

Then someone stepped forward and asked, "Elder Immortal, what year is it today?"

His question seemed to be just about a date, but the implication was that it concerned the matter of succession, reminding the Immortal Elder not to forget certain things.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu smiled slightly, while the others were all astonished.

"There are always unpleasant things in the world, why bother yourself? I know what you mean, there's really no need for this," Luo Zu said leisurely.

"Please punish me, Immortal Elder," said the Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord, bowing from the head of the table.

"Please, Immortal Elder, punish us!" The other Heavenly Lords followed suit.

Luo Zu shook his head again. Every world within the pot was as simple and easy to him as looking at the lines on his palm, so he really didn't care about these things.

He also understood why the little fellow could say such things.

It's just fear.

The past of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is already known to all the immortals in the Immortal Realm, and his aversion to other races is also common knowledge.

The immortal realm is not only home to humans and celestial beings, but also includes barbarians, demons, elves, sea creatures, and more.

Therefore, the person who came to impersonate and "support" the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds at this moment is actually a "vanguard" of the barbarian tribe, who wants to make the Immortal Elder think that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is just eager for quick success and instant benefits.

Moreover, this barbarian celestial being had long been a follower of the Five Organs Immortal Lord, and had severed ties with the Barbarian Venerable. In fact, the Barbarian Venerable had even sought out the Five Organs Immortal Lord for this matter, and the two exchanged greetings.

No one expected that this usually taciturn and loyal barbarian traitor would betray the Five Internal Organs Immortal Lord at this crucial moment.

Then the various Heavenly Lords followed suit.

They also refused to acknowledge the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds as an outsider.

Why should a nobody who isn't even a Xuanxian be allowed to lead them?

On what grounds?
