Chapter 1174: Controlling the opportunity to become an Immortal

Beyond the imperial palace was a vast square shrouded in mist, seemingly endless. Countless figures surrounded the area, maintaining silence.

Many ministers stood respectfully, awaiting the appearance of the divine Lord to conduct the Conferring Immortals Ceremony.

As the name suggested, this ceremony was held explicitly for ascension to immortality. Pract.i.tioners from various corners of heavens and earth flocked here, eager to witness this grand event.

Many were curious to know if the so-called Immortal Sealing List was as miraculous as described by Gu Changge. Could it instantly elevate cultivators to immortality, even those beyond the Supreme realm?

Ministers occupied the closest positions at the forefront of the imperial palace. Behind them were the most ancient and powerhouses, with several background figures overseeing immortal legacies and powerful artifacts behind them. Even in the present upper realms, they remained true overlords.

Among the leading forces were the Supreme G.o.d Clan, the Hidden An Clan, and the Divine Sect sect of Absolute Beginning.

The current head of the Supreme G.o.d Clan, t.i.tled Tai Xu Marquis, was highly esteemed, and their influence was vast and formidable. Besides, the Golden Sun G.o.ddess, a well-known figure of the Supreme G.o.d Clan, had a very close relationship with a divine concubine.

This elevated the Supreme G.o.d Clan’s status in the divine realm, and even other Dao Supreme legacies and immortal forces treated them with respect.

The Divine Sect of Absolute Beginning, known as the Demon Sect of Absolute Beginning among the common people, is the force most trusted by the divine Lord. It was considered the national religion because the sect’s leader was the divine lord Gu Changge’s grandfather.

The Gu Clan, representing the eternal family, was dignified in the divine kingdom.

The Lord of the Hall of immortals appeared at the front of the imperial palace. He was a tall figure wearing a bronze mask and a long blue robe.

His face was hidden, and his deep, cold eyes showed no worldly emotions. His terrifying cultivation made ordinary figures tremble with fear.

This person was Yan Luo, the former Lord of the Fourth Hall in h.e.l.l, also named Ah San by Gu Changge. His cultivation had reached the level of an Immortal long ago, and aside from Gu Changge, few in the upper realms could easily defeat him.

Behind the immortals Hall’s Lord were numerous faceless eunuchs representing various races. They had unfathomable cultivation levels and stood respectfully outside the imperial palace.

Apart from the Hall of Immortals, the Hall of Shura, Heavenly Secrets Hall, and the Sword, Spear, and Blade Hall—all affiliated with the imperial family—also made appearances, with their leaders or managers standing respectfully outside the imperial palace.

This Ceremony of conferring immortals was immensely grand and significant for heavens and earth. Even several concubines, Emperor and Empress would be present.

On the vast square, all the ministers were struck with awe as they witnessed the tip of the iceberg of the divine kingdom’s profound heritage.

Long live the lord!!!

With the grand tolling of the bell resonating across the universe, countless cultivators and beings heard the majestic world sound.

In corners of heavens and earth, sounds of worship reverberated.

A figure enveloped in radiant, immortal light emerged outside the imperial palace. Every strand of his hair radiated a five-coloured immortal glow. His youthful appearance, serene and profound eyes, seemed capable of penetrating all the secrets throughout the endless ages, revealing insights into past, present, and future.

His Dao divine presence materialized at the pinnacle of the divine kingdom, towering as if it reached the sky, rendering even the stars around him minuscule-like specks of dust.

Even beyond the divine kingdom, the beings in the vast cosmos felt an indescribable connection, reverently kneeling towards the direction of the divine kingdom.

Behind Gu Changge, Empress Yue Mingkong, Concubine Yin Mei, and Empress Jiang Chuchu appeared outside the imperial palace.

We pay our respects to the Divine Ruler.

May the divine kingdom be immortal and everlasting.

Resounding with immense reverence, these voices echoed through the square. All the ministers and beings prostrated before him, their expressions respectful and in awe.

This scene was enough to shake the heavens, and across the vast cosmos, beings sensed this awe-inspiring presence, falling to their knees in respect.

Behind Gu Changge, the Emperor, Concubines, and Empress also bowed in reverence.

All rise.

We shall bow to the Divine Lord.

The magnificent and respectful voices echoed through the square.

This was a sight that could shake the heavens and the earth as countless beings’ boundless faith and belief converged in the divine Kingdom, like a radiant sun. Streams of silver faith power gathered over the divine kingdom, entering the resplendent sun.

A rain of crystalline light descended, and golden lotuses blossomed. The air resonated with the melody of the Dao-building expert, causing the spirits of all cultivators to feel transparent, their divine senses purged, and their expressions devout.

At this moment, the destiny of the divine Kingdom surged, and even at the end of the firmament, the sun and moon radiated together, overshadowing the stars. The reflection extended into the river of time, with torrents of water rolling into great waves.

From one end of the river of time, reflecting to the other end, powerhouses from the past and future were resonating, filled with astonishment.

Please rise, everyone.

Gu Changge nodded gently, his gaze calm and tranquil. He gestured for everyone on the square to stand and then turned his eye towards the Ascension Ceremony altar.

In his view, this Ascension Ceremony was an excellent opportunity to showcase the path to immortality to the entire upper realm. Hence, it had to be magnificent.

Gu Changge gently waved his hand as the ministers stood up, and an immense light burst forth in the heavens and earth. A golden list appeared, radiating a brilliant and ancient inscription of “Sealing Immortality List.” Its splendor illuminated the heavens, incredibly dazzling.

Saturated with an intense force of belief, the list exuded an aura of transcending into immortality, even its corners filled with the essence of soaring to the heavens.

At this moment, even background figures felt a yearning, sensing that this Sealing Immortality List undoubtedly held the opportunity to attain immortality.

With the control of the Epoch Tree and the Dao Fruit in Gu Changge’s hands, he could effortlessly manipulate the path to immortality by refining these two ent.i.ties.

Even when the world reached the perfection of the Immortal Ancient Era, ordinary individuals might not qualify to tread the path to immortality. After all, achieving immortality was a monumental event, and could Gu Changge be oblivious to the imminent threat of witnessing a true immortal rise?

The birth of the Sealing Immortality List had predetermined everything. After Gu Changge unified the heavens, this would be the sole opportunity for ascension to immortality.

Granted the divine mandate by the divine kingdom, one could enjoy the divine kingdom’s worship and faith but also be restrained by both the divine government and Gu Changge, with their lives firmly in his grasp.

At this moment, all the ministers and citizens of the divine kingdom gazed at the topmost golden list, vast and towering above the clouds, seemingly spanning half the universe.

The grand ceremony begins.

As an eunuch proclaimed with the strength of a Dao-building expert, the ministers positioned at the forefront of the imperial palace shook involuntarily. Without hesitation, they stepped forward.

Respectfully looking at Gu Changge, they earnestly declared, “We were willing to follow the divine lord of generations, submit to the divine kingdom. This pledge was witnessed by heaven and earth, audible to all living beings…”

With the utterance of their words, an indescribable connection seemed to resonate in the unseen realms. A golden light began to shower on the heavenly tablets in the imperial palace square, reflecting radiantly upon them.

The Ancient Immortal Ji family presents a pair of immortal artifacts, the Nine Heavens Sea Armor and the Cloud Realm Quadrant Flag, seeking a Sealing Immortality Decree…

A robust middle-aged man, the patriarch of the Immortal Ji family, stepped forward. He presented the artifacts with reverence, and a dense radiance of immortal dao-building experts enveloped the items. The brilliance transformed into two light streams, directly entering the Sealing Immortality altar.

Boom!

The immortal tablets trembled, emitting a resounding force that shook the heavens and earth. Profound radiance and rules flowed on them, seemingly evaluating the worth of these two items, determining whether they were worthy of a Sealing Immortality List.

All the ministers watched in awe as the scene unfolded. The Nine Heavens Sea Armor was one of the foundations of the immortal Ji family. Once worn, even immortal figures would find it challenging to break through.

The Cloud Realm Quadrant Flag, renowned in the upper realms, was said to have been nurtured by the qi of the four directions in ancient times. With four flags combined, it could weave a grand array capable of defeating even immortals.

For the sake of obtaining a Sealing Immortality List, the immortal Ji family had indeed spared no effort. Many patriarchs of other immortal families subtly changed their expressions.
