63 -9: Gathering Immortals Palace, Bai Ze’s Scheme
Two figures stepped lightly, making their way from the palace gate.
“Fellow Daoist Qingmingzi, congratulations, for you are now close to attaining the Great Dao!” Fu Xi, with all his scholarly elegance, bowed deeply to Li Qingming.
“Fellow Daoist indeed has good fortune, haha!” Nuwa, following behind Fu Xi, covered her mouth with a light laugh and curtsied.
Li Qingming smiled faintly and said, “Hehe, thank you both Fellow Daoists!
According to my humble opinion, both of you and Fellow Daoists Di Jun and Taiyi are not far from severing the corporeal body either!”
The group shared a noncommittal laugh upon hearing Li Qingming’s words.
“Fellow Daoist, have you come with an answer this time?”
After congratulating Li Qingming on his success in severing the corporeal body, Di Jun eagerly asked Fu Xi and the others.
Fu Xi stroked his fine beard with a smile and said, “Indeed!”
A glimmer of joy flashed in Di Jun’s eyes as he asked, “Oh?
What do you mean, Fellow Daoist?”
“My sister and I agree to your plan,” Fu Xi said, brushing his sleeve, “However, my sister, although joining you, will not engage in any conflicts or battles!” freewebnσvel.cѳm
Fu Xi really does take great care of his sister, Nuwa!
Although it was somewhat different from his own expectations, Di Jun was still very happy, “Let’s follow Fellow Daoist’s idea!
Hahaha, with the help of Fellow Daoists like you, how can we worry about the success of our grand endeavors!”
…
It is said that when Pangu created the world, several fragments of Chaos fell upon the Primordial East Sea.
The smaller pieces merged into the sea, turning into rich Innate Spiritual Energy; among them, three were particularly large, and after falling into the Primordial Land, they became islands with a span of nearly ten million miles.
The islands are covered with mountains and plains, numerous rivers, herds of Spiritual Beasts, and lush vegetation – a veritable Holy Land for cultivation.
These three islands are named Penglai, Fangzhang, and Ying Province.
Among them, Penglai Island is always enigmatic and elusive, rumored to wander over the East Sea, its silhouette indistinct from afar, hence no one has seen the island.
Fangzhang and Ying Province, these two smaller islands, have become the cultivation grounds of East King and The Queen Mother of the West, respectively.
Fangzhang Island, Gathering Immortals Hall.
“The Queen Mother of the West, Taoist Hong Jun has honored us as the leaders of all male immortals and female immortals in the Primordial,” East King gestured grandly, “I think we need to unfurl the Gathering Immortals Banner and gather all immortals to come and pay tribute!”
This East King is indeed flamboyant; he just received the title of the chief of the male immortals and is already thinking about gathering all immortals and ruling the Primordial.
Truly ignorant of the heaven’s height and earth’s depth.
A look of disdain flickered in the eyes of The Queen Mother of the West, “East King, Fellow Daoist, I think this matter requires further discussion!
Right now, our Cultivation is still in the Daluo Golden Immortal Middle Stage.
With such Cultivation, how are we supposed to command all immortals?
Besides, you are the chief of the male immortals; I am the chief of the female immortals!
It’s better to keep the distinction between men and women clear!”
“Uh…”
East King’s face grew unsightly; he had not expected The Queen Mother of the West to be so merciless.
“Hehe!” He laughed awkwardly and continued, “Fellow Daoist makes a good point!
I have indeed been too impatient.
The matter of the Dao Ancestor choosing us to oversee all immortals of the Primordial has already spread throughout the land!
I believe people will soon come to join us, so it is best we prepare!”
“Good!” There was a shimmer in the beautiful eyes of The Queen Mother of the West.
After a moment, she continued, “In that case, I need to return to West Kunlun to wait for those who will come to join.
If there are urgent matters, I will come to Ying Province to discuss them with Fellow Daoist.
What do you think?”
“Just follow Fellow Daoist’s advice!” Despite his reluctance, the East King could do nothing about it.
In the Primordial era, the least valuable thing is time, and over five hundred years had passed since Taoist Hong Jun gave his teachings.
During these five centuries, the East King aggressively expanded his forces, established the “Gathering Immortals Palace,” and proclaimed himself the Immortal Lord!
Utilizing the power of the Gathering Immortals Banner, through coercion or temptation, he had enlisted tens of millions of Earth Immortals and above, with the highest being Daluo Golden Immortals.
Countless others, like Little Demons and practitioners of Small Dao such as Refining Void and Merging Dao, were too numerous to count.
On the other hand, The Queen Mother of the West was much more low-profile, having gathered only hundreds of thousands of female immortals over the past five hundred years, with the strongest among them only reaching Taiyin Golden Immortal.
The Queen Mother also showed little interest in the affairs of the Primordial Land, spending her days in cultivation or training female immortals, living a rather carefree life.
In today’s Primordial Land, mountains and rivers with thick Spiritual Energy have all been seized by the East King using various methods by his All Immortals.
All creatures in the land abhor his barbaric actions.
Many victories were forced by the Gathering Immortals Palace.
They cling to a power that suddenly emerged several hundred years ago and stand in opposition to the East King’s Gathering Immortals Palace.
No one knows where this power came from, only that every Guardian is incredibly strong, all capable of being Daluo Golden Immortals.
They all share one common title: “Great Demon”!
Sun Star.
“Hahaha, Big Brother, Qingmingzi Fellow Daoist, you should have seen the East King’s ashen face, it was absolutely hilarious!
Hahaha…” Taiyi laughed so hard that tears started to roll down his face.
Li Qingming smiled as he looked at Taiyi, feeling utterly astounded inside, “It has only been a brief period of over five hundred years, yet Di Jun and Taiyi have already created tens of thousands of Daluo Golden Immortals.
Could it be that Daluo Golden Immortals can be mass-produced?”
“Fellow Daoist, Taiyi is just like that, don’t take it to heart!” Di Jun said with a hint of a smile to Li Qingming.
“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Taiyi is truly genuine.
Speaking of which, the East King really is laughable.
Not only has his cultivation not advanced an inch in five hundred years, but he also offended the Honghuang Hundred Clans.
It seems that the person entrusted by the Tao Ancestor is not suitable at all!
Alas!”
Li Qingming truly felt disappointed in the East King; how could such a talentless and virtueless person possibly manage the Primordial Land effectively?
It’s no wonder he met his downfall.
“Bai Ze Fellow Daoist, earlier you scattered these tens of thousands of Great Demons across the Primordial Land.
Is it now time to reap the rewards?”
Di Jun waved his hand to signal Taiyi to restrain his hearty laughter and turned to look at Bai Ze.
Bai Ze still maintained that same demeanor, holding his Feather Fan, the epitome of elegance.
“Hehe, Fellow Daoist, why are you in such a hurry.
Now that the pieces are in place, once the timing is right, we could easily squash the East King like an ant!” Bai Ze, with his scholarly air, spoke such words, and suddenly a chill of killing aura seeped out of him.
Lines of crimson as if they were death warrants, heavy and sinister.
“Darn it, why not just directly destroy them!
Bai Ze Fellow Daoist, in your opinion, how much longer must we wait?” Taiyi was naturally impatient and couldn’t be expected to quietly wait for plans to succeed.
“Either a hundred years more, or as few as thirty to fifty years!” Bai Ze replied, his eyes slightly closed, calmly speaking.
“Really now, does that not mean another hundred years of idleness!” Taiyi shook the Chaos Bell in his hand, talking to himself.
“Taiyi, Bai Ze Fellow Daoist’s strategies surpass all in the Primordial!
Do not underestimate him!” Di Jun did not belittle Bai Ze, as his future plans would still require Bai Ze’s aid; now was not the time to offend him.
A flicker of brilliance passed through Li Qingming’s eyes, he thought to himself: “The continual unrest in the Primordial, it seems another great era is about to dawn!”
