Aspiring to the Immortal Path-Chapter 846: Open Positions

Yun Tianlan had become a True Immortal twenty years after Tang Jie's departure. It was a little later than planned, but not too great of a deviation.

With Yun Tianlan becoming a True Immortal, the Basking Moon Sect immediately rose to become the true leader of Rosecloud.

Back when the Seven Absolutions Sect and the Basking Moon Sect had joined together to attack Godhead Palace, the Basking Moon Sect had asked for the Divine Will Golden Body while the Seven Absolutions Sect had gotten to plunder all of Godhead Palace. At the time, the Seven Absolutions Sect felt like it had gotten the much better end of the deal and had already made ready to assume hegemony. And in reality, they truly had managed to thrive and prosper, producing more geniuses like Wang Juemie.

But Yun Tianlan's breakthrough immediately turned all of the Seven Absolutions Sect's ambitions to nothing. Only then did they realize just how big of an opportunity they had missed out on.

Despite their frustrations, after learning of this matter, the Seven Absolutions Sect still immediately congratulated the Basking Moon Sect and yielded to its supremacy. Thanks to their past collaboration, the Basking Moon Sect happily accepted the Seven Absolutions Sect's fealty and tribute.

On the other end, the Thousand Passions Sect had already sought to restore relations with the Basking Moon Sect. They had been deeply displeased over how the Basking Moon Sect had worked with the Seven Absolutions Sect and Horizon Ocean Pavilion and gradually grown distant, but now that a True Immortal had emerged, the Thousand Passions Sect could no longer remain so cold. Given their past thousand years of friendship, everything was fine so long as they were willing to bow their head.

Finally, there was Horizon Ocean Pavilion. Relations between this sect and the Basking Moon Sect actually could not be considered good, but the relationship between Xu Miaoran and Tang Jie meant that the two sects could never be opposed. Crucially, Xu Miaoran's power within Horizon Ocean Pavilion had also risen by leaps and bounds. After several hundred years of development, the juniors of her All-Talent Society had become the supporting pillars of the sect and commanded immense influence.

Xu Miaoran herself had become one of the Eight Ocean Rakshasas and herself wielded great authority in the sect. However, she had yet to break through to Violet Palace, and her progress had stalled.

But regardless, with this level of relationship, Horizon Ocean Pavilion found no difficulty in lowering its head to the Basking Moon Sect.

Tang Jie was elated to hear all this, and he became even more confident in his plan. He then told everyone of what he had seen and heard in the Vast Wilderness Continent.

Even if he had three days and three nights, he still wouldn't have enough time to recount all that there was in the Vast Wilderness Continent.

Everyone was full of wonder and awe when they heard of that place's mountain-sized exotic beasts, its talking plants, the abyss that ran through the entire continent, and how there was a Violet Palace expert for every city and a True Immortal for every state.

"This disciple returned primarily because of the Court of Myriad Domains." After giving a rough summary of the Vast Wilderness Continent, Tang Jie turned to the topic of the Court of Myriad Domains, telling them what Kun Wu and the Wind Moon Scholar had told him.

Everyone was very interested when the Court of Myriad Domains was brought up.

Ling Xiao asked, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Tang Jie directly replied, "Your disciple's thinking is very simple. I want to go, and so should the Basking Moon Sect!"

This was the biggest reason Tang Jie had come back.

The Court of Myriad Domains was an opportunity, but it was also a challenge, the dangers just as big as the rewards.

Since everyone else was forming groups, Tang Jie wasn't so arrogant as to believe he could go all by himself.

But rather than forming a group with Kun Wu's people, he trusted the Basking Moon Sect more. Moreover, if he was going to have to split up the spoils, it was better to share it among his own people rather than unaffiliated cultivators he wasn't very familiar with. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Thus, Tang Jie had come back.

He came back to gather up all the powerhouses of the Rosecloud Domain and take them to the Vast Wilderness Continent.

Yes, the Rosecloud Domain was like a village in the Vast Wilderness Continent, but this one village had one True Immortal, several Earth Immortals, and a pile of Violet Palace cultivators. Put together, their strength was akin to that of a state.

Such a large faction would be much more reliable in the Court of Myriad Domains than Kun Wu's alliance of wandering cultivators.

"You mean that you want to bring not just my Basking Moon Sect, but also the other three sects?" Ling Xiao asked in shock.

Tang Jie nodded. "Originally, I was planning to bring only the Basking Moon Sect, but since Martial Ancestor has become a True Immortal and my Basking Moon Sect has become hegemon of Rosecloud, I have to slightly adjust my plans. Having the other three sects come with us will be even better."

Tang Jie spoke in rather ambiguous terms, but his meaning was very clear.

There was a risk in going to the Court of Myriad Domains, and nobody could say that nobody would die. If it were only people from the Basking Moon Sect who went, things would end poorly if there were some mishap. But if the Thousand Passions Sect, the Seven Absolutions Sect, and Horizon Ocean Pavilion also sent people, their force would be stronger, lowering the danger, and if there were some mishap, they would suffer equally, and the Basking Moon Sect's grasp on power wouldn't be affected.

Everyone would be sharing the risks, which benefited the strongest faction.

Ling Xiao nodded in agreement.

Everyone was quite interested in the Myriad Court.

While there was a risk, wasn't cultivation always risky?

Pushing for Violet Palace alone had a high chance of death, and every person seated in the Hall of Divine Conference had been through their fair share of risks to get this far. They were well aware that taking the next step would require both their own efforts and also some luck. For example, Yun Tianlan had only been able to break through thanks to an opportunity that Tang Jie had seized for him.

Now, Tang Jie had brought them all another opportunity.

Thus, everyone was eager to take up Tang Jie's proposal.

However, not all of the Basking Moon Sect's Violet Palace experts could go, and the question of who stayed and who went had to be carefully considered.

The Hall of Divine Conference was soon astir with chatter. These True Lords usually spoke in a calm and genial manner, but today, they were squabbling like never before. As the Swordholder, Xiao Biehan was naturally meant for such matters that involved so much fighting. But Ling Xiao responded that the Court of Myriad Domains wouldn't require only combat power, but also wisdom. This was a new land, so not only did they have to find their fortune in the Court of Myriad Domains, they also had an opportunity to set up a base in the Vast Wilderness Continent. In addition, they also had to maintain their relationships with the other three sects. This wasn't something that could be done by a pure warrior, so the sect master would also have to go. Mystic Moon and Nine Splendors argued that this expedition would be extremely dangerous, and the sect master and Swordholder were the core of the sect, so their loss could not be allowed. Thus, those two should remain to supervise the sect while the dangers could be left to the two of them. Ming Yekong agreed, saying that the Court of Myriad Domains wasn't a place that could be forced through using brute strength and that one also had to move quickly. While he was the weakest, he was actually the most suitable. Moreover, if he died, his death would have less impact on the Basking Moon Sect than anyone else's.

They argued until they were red in the face, the sight of which certainly would have dumbfounded their juniors, who were so used to seeing these bigshots being so calm and somber.

Tang Jie was rendered speechless by their passion.

In the middle of the arguing, a voice came from the distance. "No more arguing. This trip to the Court of Myriad Domains will be extremely dangerous. The Basking Moon Sect cannot be without its master, so Biehan will go. In addition, he will bring Mystic Moon and Yekong."

It was Yun Tianlan's voice.

Nobody would dare to argue against the ancestor.

Xiao Biehan, Mystic Moon, and Ming Yekong were elated.

Yun Tianlan said, "In addition, I will also go."

What?

Everyone was aghast.

It seemed that even Yun Tianlan couldn't help but be tempted by the Court of Myriad Domains.

Tang Jie anxiously said, "Martial Ancestor, you've already become a True Immortal, so there's no need to go."

Yun Tianlan snorted and replied, "So because I'm a True Immortal, I don't need to advance any farther?"

Tang Jie was startled, and Yun Tianlan continued, "There is no end to the Immortal Path, and nobody who has gotten this far will say that they are satisfied. Tang Jie, you've also seen the wonders of the world. For you and me, we have only turned over a small corner of this mysterious world. Maybe mortals who know nothing of all these mysteries can muddle on with their lives, but after witnessing such beauty, how can we bring ourselves to stop? What does it matter that I'm a Supreme True Immortal? So long as we live, we must continue making our way down the Immortal Path. Only then can we live up to the grandeur of the lives we have lived."

"But the Court of Myriad Domains is rife with danger, and even a Supreme True Immortal risks dying. You are the anchor of the Basking Moon Sect. Nothing must happen to you!" Ling Xiao advised.

Yun Tianlan chuckled. "That's why I have to go. The Court of Myriad Domains is far too dangerous for you juniors to handle alone. This old man needs to go personally to ensure your safety. Otherwise, any one of those True Immortals from those states can turn you to dust, and you won't even get a chance at a lucky opportunity. With me around, at least you won't die at their hands."

Tang Jie said, "But the teleportation formation can't hold Martial Ancestor."

Yun Tianlan laughed. "There's no need to worry about that. While I can't be like Immortal Ji Yao and completely empty myself, now that I've become a True Immortal, I can still control my energy so it won't imbalance the formation. Moreover, you've been in the Vast Wilderness Continent, so are you saying you got nothing that could strengthen the formation? Don't be so petty."

Tang Jie was utterly speechless.

Once Yun Tianlan had decided on something, no matter how unreasonable it was, nobody could stop him.

Everything was decided. The Basking Moon Sect would send five people: Yun Tianlan, Xiao Biehan, Mystic Moon, Ming Yekong, and Tang Jie.

The other three sects were notified, each sect being able to send three people. Although it was not indicated that they should be at Violet Palace, for such an expedition, nobody below Violet Palace had any hope of going. As for Earth Immortals, the teleportation formation's limitations meant that they also couldn't go.

The three sects soon sent word expressing their interest.

The Seven Absolutions Sect's team was personally led by Ji Qingfeng, and he was accompanied by one Li Luoshui and one Wang Juemie, who had also entered Violet Palace. Such an adventure was perfect for him.

The Thousand Passions Sect sent Fairy Violet Lotus, True Lord Red Leaf, and Bai Yingyu.

Horizon Ocean Pavilion was sending Xu Guanghua and Celestial Miaoyin. Celestial Miaoyin was not one of the three leaders of Horizon Ocean Pavilion, but she was also a Violet Palace expert. Just like the Mountain Shatter Boy and Hu Xuehua, she was considered a hidden power of the sect. Xu Guanghua had once hoped to have his daughter enter her tutelage.

As for the last member of Horizon Ocean Pavilion, it was Xu Miaoran.

Tang Jie had personally made this decision. Since this was a treasure hunt, he naturally had to bring his wife.

Horizon Ocean Pavilion had objected, believing that Xu Miaoran wasn't strong enough, as she wasn't at Violet Palace.

Tang Jie had casually replied, "If she's not Violet Palace, we'll just make her one."
