Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 688 - 503: One Yuan Supreme! Reestablishing the Immortal Court! Decreeing the Immortals! True Monarchs! Heavenly Kings! Emperors!
In recent years.
The One Origin Dao Sect has had unending joyous events.
Previously with nearly three hundred new True Immortals emerging, the One Origin Dao Sect has been expanding at a visibly rapid pace.
Now, their ancestral master has swept across Shenzhou, driving out demons as well as the Xuanxiao, Dongwei, and Five Virtues Daoist Sects, which were previously on par with the One Origin Dao Sect, along with the West Continent Pure Land.
Henceforth, Shenzhou will be ruled solely by the One Origin Dao Sect.
As Daoist disciples, naturally, no one is unhappy.
Rejoicing.
Celebrating.
For days on end, Golden Wind Mountain and Sea has been bustling with excitement.
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master rarely makes an appearance, and this time, after cleansing Shenzhou, he once again individually met with the old and new True Immortals within the sect.
Each had long conversations.
Some lasted one or two days.
Others for the better part of a month.
After meeting all over three hundred True Immortals, by the time he reached the last one, it had already been seven years later.
And this last True Immortal was none other than Dongqi Palace Master ’Zhou Yan’!
...
"Disciple Zhou Yan, pays respect to the Ancestor Master."
Chen Jichuan arrived at the Dao Palace and saluted a Daoist in its midst.
"No need for formalities."
"Sit."
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master was amiable and kind, without any of the grandeur from the day he fought against the group of immortals in the heavens.
"Thank you, Ancestor Master."
Chen Jichuan took a seat.
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master, while brewing tea, smiled at Chen Jichuan and said, "If thanks are due, it is I who should be thanking you."
His demeanor was calm, without concealment, as he said, "You have nurtured True Immortals for our sect, and that day you incarnated as the ’Four Saints Daoist,’ first breaking the ’Three Talents Fire Dragon Formation’ and then driving away the four of Xuanxiao. My ability to refine Shenzhou has greatly depended on your several assists."
"Ancestor Master’s Wisdom Eye!"
Hearing this, Chen Jichuan realized that his own background had been seen through by the Yiyuan Ancestor Master.
However, this wasn’t surprising.
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master, being the Master of Shenzhou, only needed to slightly deduce using the Origin to ascertain whether there was a ’Four Saints Daoist’ in Shenzhou.
When the Vermilion Blood Ancestor cursed the ’Four Saints Daoist,’ the Yiyuan Ancestor Master had already grasped part of the Origin.
At that time, Chen Jichuan hastily severed connections, evading other Fourth Realm True Immortals, and even the Vermilion Blood Ancestor, but his true form in Shenzhou, within the ’One Origin Golden Wind Bag,’ could not be hidden from the Yiyuan Ancestor Master.
Although caught face to face, Chen Jichuan was not panicked.
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master was now the master of this medium-sized Heaven and Earth, and within the entire universe, his power and status were just below those few Ancient Immortals.
Such a figure might not possess the broad vision and mindset of an Ancient Immortal, but is not far off.
Chen Jichuan’s past cautious actions not only did not harm the Dao Sect’s interests but even assisted the Yiyuan Ancestor Master at critical moments.
Normally, there was no reason for this Ancestor Master to repay kindness with enmity.
Thus, Chen Jichuan chose not to conceal and stopped hiding.
"Nurturing close to three hundred True Immortals."
"With First Realm cultivation countering Fourth Realm True Immortals."
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master looked at Chen Jichuan and marveled, "I never imagined such a person could appear in my Shenzhou."
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master was indeed amazed.
Easily creating True Immortals.
A First Realm can rival a Fourth Realm.
This rarity cannot be found even among the many True Immortals within the twelve Great Heavens and Earth in the vast cosmos.
The array of Divine Skills left even the Yiyuan Ancestor Master dazzled.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Forgive my presumptuousness, but are you the reincarnation of an Ancient Immortal, or have you received the inheritance of an Ancient Immortal?"
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master couldn’t fathom which normal True Immortal could acquire numerous Divine Skills in just over a hundred thousand years, and elevate them to profound levels.
Even acquiring the inheritance of an Ancient Immortal seemed exaggerated.
If it were a reincarnation of an Ancient Immortal, it would make sense.
"Ancestor Master is overthinking."
"This disciple is neither the reincarnation of an Ancient Immortal nor has received any inheritance from one. My achievements today are solely due to the innate talent gifted by my parents and the untiring cultivation by the Dao Sect."
This time, Chen Jichuan did not reveal the complete truth.
The origin of the ’Dao Fruit’ was extraordinary, enabling him to traverse the heavens and possess various incredible ’talents.’ It was crucial to his becoming a True Immortal and essential for his future achievement as an Ancient Immortal, or even higher realms.
If this opportunity were exposed, even the exalted Ancient Immortals would inevitably reach out to investigate.
Though Chen Jichuan could ’log off’ at any time and not remain in this universe, thereby easily escaping the covetous eyes of the Ancient Immortals within this universe, the favorable situation of this life would be ruined. Moreover, he couldn’t be sure if the Ancient Immortals had some strange means. If things went awry and he couldn’t escape or leave, it would be disastrous.
Therefore, about the ’Dao Fruit,’ concealment was paramount.
Others may speculate, whether as a reincarnation of an Ancient Immortal or possessing their inheritance, let them think what they will, at least the current Ancient Immortals wouldn’t mind these.
However, the ’Dao Fruit’ and its specific abilities granted by it would not be mentioned by Chen Jichuan.
...
"Innate talent."
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master smiled slightly, only curious, he did not delve deeper.
Yet in his heart, he surmised that the likelihood of Zhou Yan being a ’reincarnation of an Ancient Immortal’ or ’endowed with some Ancient Immortal’s inheritance’ was high. However, given the vast powers of Ancient Immortals, perhaps he had foes from his past life among Ancient Immortals, or the Ancient Immortal that passed him on had formidable enemies in their lifetime, and couldn’t expose themselves, which was understandable.
"Only I know of your background, and I will not mention it to others."
The Yiyuan Ancestor Master asked no more, looking at Chen Jichuan, mentioning the main point of this meeting, "I intend to reestablish the Immortal Court, named ’One Origin Immortal Court,’ which will unify Shenzhou’s True Immortals and allocate Shenzhou’s Origin. You have rendered great service to the Dao Sect, nurturing nearly three hundred True Immortals, you deserve a great reward and a noble position in the Immortal Court. Hence, I appoint you as ’Dongqi True Monarch,’ ranked sixth among True Monarchs, with the title ’Heavenly King,’ your position below only Yuu Cheng, Zhengg Yuan, and the other five, enjoying Immortal Court emoluments and receiving Shenzhou’s Origin to aid your cultivation, how about it?"
"Thank you, Ancestor Master!"
Upon hearing these words, Chen Jichuan stood and expressed his gratitude.
Yet, in his heart, he was somewhat disappointed.
The news that the Yiyuan Ancestor Master intended to reestablish the Immortal Court had been circulating for days.
Since the Yiyuan Ancestor Master was now the Master of Shenzhou, this Immortal Court, therefore, was more legitimate than before, the true orthodox of Shenzhou, wielding various authorities, blessed by Heaven and Earth Origins, no longer the arduous task it once was. The positions within the Immortal Court now all possess significant benefits to True Immortals. All who assume office receive a beneficial boost to their cultivation.
Higher positions bring higher rewards, much greater benefits.
The new Immortal Court regards Yiyuan and Taisu as supreme Ancestor Masters, followed by the Five Directions Emperor with Master Fu Danzi at the center. Below that are thirty-six True Monarchs, the top eight each leading a department in the Immortal Court, holding the title ’Heavenly King’ or ’Heavenly Master.’
Below that are Star Lords.
Two Ancestors.
Emperors.
True Monarchs. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Star Lords.
This constituted the top hierarchy of the newly established Immortal Court, positions nearly reserved for True Immortals.
Chen Jichuan, within the One Origin Dao Sect, was a newly ascended True Immortal for merely a hundred and fifty thousand years, his seniority shallow, Daoist cultivation still at the First Realm, logically would be granted at most a Star Lord post.
But with his contribution of nurturing over two hundred and eighty True Immortals, a tremendous achievement, his significant contribution and special status in the Dao Sect placed him below the ’Five One Origin Ancestors,’ all in the Third Realm, as the sixth True Monarch of the ’One Origin Immortal Court,’ added with the title of ’Heavenly King,’ a moderate and measured reward. No other True Immortal would have concerns.
However, for Chen Jichuan.
His contribution to the One Origin Dao Sect was not just limited to nurturing over two hundred True Immortals; others might not know, but the Yiyuan Ancestor Master surely did.
Just bestowing upon him the title of ’True Monarch’ and ’Heavenly King’ didn’t match his expectations.
With these thoughts, although Chen Jichuan remained outwardly unperturbed, he continued to express his joy and gratitude.
But then, the Yiyuan Ancestor Master chuckled, saying, "Placing ’Zhou Yan’ below Yuu Cheng and others fits indeed. However, ’Four Saints Daoist’ at that time did me and this Heaven and Earth great favors, hence the Four Directions Emperors of the Immortal Court, with Fu Danzi presiding, the other four will be held by ’Four Saints Daoist,’ what say you?"
"Four Directions Emperors?!"
Hearing this, Chen Jichuan was immediately overjoyed.
Just moments ago, he had inwardly accused the Yiyuan Ancestor Master of being stingy, but this generous gesture from the Ancestor Master now filled his heart with joy.
The newly established Immortal Court had only five Emperor positions, even Yuu Cheng Ancestor and others hadn’t secured any, yet he was offered four at once.
How could Chen Jichuan remain dissatisfied?
"With these four positions, my cultivation in the future will feel divinely aided, swiftly breaking through the First, even reaching the Third Realm wouldn’t be difficult."
He was delighted beyond measure inside.
Outwardly composed, once again bowing and expressing gratitude, he refused even the courtesy of declining the offer recreationally.
